Review: MiniArt Republic 1/48 P-47D-30-RD Thunderbolt

The Republic P-47D-30, which appeared in the ETO during the fall of 1944, and was produced at both the Farmingdale and Evansville factories, was the first Thunderbolt sub-type to have the underwing dive brakes that prevented the airplane [...]

P-47B

Here's my early P-47B from Dora Wings in 1:48 I finished awhile back and just got around to taking some photos. This is one of their better kits in my opinion, everything fit well except the top and bottom wings at the wing root. The [...]

More D-Day stuff

Just finished some more items for my 1/48th D-Day display at our local library coming this June. A P-47D-25 kit 61090 and a GMC Fuel Truck kit 32579. Both kits are from Tamiya. Great detail and decals.

Premium Hobbies 1/72 P-47D

Having seen these at Amazon for $15 I decided to try one. Did not know what to expect but what it turned out to be was an Academy rebox. Sure seems to be alot of that gong around these days. No mousetraps, above average detail, great [...]

It's a HEMI!

Here’s my latest build, the Halberd XP-47H conversion. It’s an awesome conversion, the Halberd fuselage and Tamiya wings, spars, tailplanes, cockpit and canopy are all a perfect fit. The recent post by Tom Clever covers the history of [...]

My 2023 Builds

It has been a while since my last post so I figured I better get my wheels rolling again. A little late on posting my builds from 2023 but here they are. A little different year for me but happy with the results. I had my usual fun [...]

1/48 Accurate Miniatures P-51C

Started in 23 but finally finished is my first completion in 2024. It is the old A/M P-51C kit which is a P-51B with the tail fillet joint. For some reason I seem to be concentrating on checker tail birds especially those from the 325th [...]
