Revell 1969 Mustang
The back story: In 1969 I bought a brand new Mustang. I was a senior in high school and had saved my summer job money for years. It was bright yellow with the basic 302 ci engine. Black interior. I took it to college the next year. [...]
Kit Basing Hasegawa and Trumpeter: 1/32 Messerschmitt Me 262B-1a/u1
Revell produced a good 1/32 kit of the 262B. Yet, the definitive 262 kit in the scale requires the combination of Trumpeter's wings from their excellent 262A kit. The wings are matched with Hasegawa's old 262B kit that has the correctly [...]
Swiss Hawker Hunter MK58; Revell 1/72
A little easy kit from Revell 🙂 the instructions are not correct to build this option (the MK58 has some diferences), but all the pieces are in the box, although listed as 'not to use' so, one just need to do some research.
I built this [...]
Revell 1/32 Junkers Ju 88A-1
An Impressive Revell offering depicting one of the Luftwaffe's most versatile bombers that captures well the lines of the aircraft.
Revell 1/48 F-15E Strike Eagle
The venerable Eagle is perhaps, one of Revell's best kits. A highly detailed kit that builds without much effort into an impressive model that looks like the real aircraft. The only design snag that I found is the poor fit in the [...]
Revell 1/48 Arado 234C-3

Revell's Arado is an [...]
P-47D Thunderbolt; 61FS 56FG
P-47 was an American fighter produced by the republic from 1941 until 1945. Equipped with 8 0.50cal machine guns and several weapons pylons it could weigh up to 8 tons, making it one of the heaviest WW2 fighters. Designed around an [...]
ProModeler Revell 1/48 Ta 154A Moskito
The first German aircraft design of a dedicated night fighter.
ProModeler's and later re boxed Revell and Dragon Ta 154 is plagued with fit issues and warped wings. Nonetheless, the model's outlines concurs with the design sketches and [...]
Head-to-Head Broncos, Academy & ICM
I tried another head-to-head comparison build of a vintage and a recent new tool kit; this time 1/72 scale OV-10A kits. I built the venerable Academy kit originally issued in 1999 and the 2023 ICM kit. The OV-10 is a distinctive iconic [...]
U boat type VII C/41 from Revell in scale 1:144
Here is my last project which I have been doing for 4 years on and off. But now the U-Boote type VII C/41 project is finally finished. It became an eternal project with as much joy as frustration. I was ruining this build when I crossed [...]
