A picture, a story, and a really old model airplane
This build started out with a picture:
(link)
It's an A-20B, AAF serial 41-3441 of the 47th BG, 97th BS at Vesuvius Airbase in Italy. I found it while randomly surfing at work one afternoon (yes, I was bored) and photo was so cool I [...]
Achtung, Spitfire!
Sometime in mid-December of last year, while attending a meeting of the Brooklyn Plastic Modelers Society (my chapter of the IPMS), I came across this kit being sold 2nd hand for $25.00 with an Eduard photo-etch set and a Masters [...]
Braille Scale Challenger II
OOB build of British Challenger II. 1/72nd scale. Nato scheme is free-hand airbrush with mild weathering. Antenna are paint brush bristles.
It's hard to beat Revell of Germany armor in this scale.
The Hindenburg
Here is something different. It's the Revell 1/720 Hindenburg very easy to put together. It was painted with floquil old silver then decaled and the windows were painted on. This was the cruise ship of the sky for crossing the Atlantic in [...]
Revell 1/25 #4 JPS Mustang
The John Player Special (JPS) paint scheme has been around for a long time. I always found it attractive, but what I didn't know was that it came in black/yellow, as well as black/gold. At the time of the Youtube video, this was one [...]

This started out as a two door sedan. All emblems have been shaved, hood smoothed, chassis given a lower stance & insert applique between chrome removed.
Engine is a big block 409, wired & cooled by a photo-etch electric [...]

Legato 1/72 Curtiss P-40E Warhawk, Tamiya 1/72 Supermarine Spitfire Mk.Vb Trop, Revell 1/72 Hawker Hurricane Mk.IIc.
Just a few desert camo RAF aircraft. All oob builds, the Legato P-40 kit was hard work but turned out ok and has a good shape, the Tamiya kit as usual was a dream and the keenly priced Revell kit fitted together really well, happy enough [...]
1/72, F-89 Scorpion, Revell
I found this model in my stash of old models in my parents attic, and was pleasantly surprised. As a straight from the box production, it has real "class."
Right from the Cold War days of flying shot guns, the Scorpion was [...]
iModeler Review: 1/32 Revell Messerschmitt Bf-109G-6
After finishing the last 1/32 Hasegawa Bf-109, an F-2, I told myself I was finally "109ed out," that the airplane as a model held no suprises and no further interest to me. So naturally, when the neighborhood Walter White [...]
