Heinkel He 177 "Greif": Now and then
The revolutionary German heavy bomber that had two engines driving one propeller shaft received the attention of model makers over the years. In 1967, Airfix came out with an impressive 1/72nd scale that was highly detailed by comparison [...]
Hasegawa 1/48 P-51D Mustang
In one of my earlier posts I'd mentioned I had build several Accurate Miniatures, Eduard, Airfix, Monogram/Revell, and Tamiya P-51's but not a Hasegawa kit. That is until now and it is a decent kit IMHO. The cockpit is adequate but not [...]
1/48 Revell F-15E Strike Eagle
This kit was built about 5+ years ago in what I would describe as my first serious attempt at building scale aircraft. Up until that time I had mostly been doing 1/350 ships but after I saw an article in Fine Scale Modeler with this kit I [...]
Revell 1:48 Messerschmitt Bf 109G-10 Kit #85-5253
A nice little kit with a few problems. Took a little over a month to complete. The cockpit is pretty sparse. The rudder pedals were blobs so I placed Eduard pedals over them. I made harnesses supplied by a company called Kam I Zukuri or [...]

After spending way too long on the last couple of builds (mostly do to self-inflicted problems and mistakes) I wanted something quick and easy, so scanning the stash, the Yak jumped out at me.
Apparently you can do it as a snap-together [...]
Avro Lancaster B.VII
Lancaster B.VII was the final production version. The main external difference from previous marks was the slightly forward location of the upper turret. This was to compensate for the change in the inclusion of heaver 0.5 machine guns on [...]

Franz Stigler was born on August 21, 1915 and comes from a Family of Pilots. His father was also a Pilot and observer in the First World War. He began gliding at the Age of 12, became a [...]
Revell 1/72 Shackleton MR.3
Revell's Shackleton MR.3 is based on the 1967 mold from Frog. A genuine oldie that still shines. It has raised panel panel lines and rivets. Homogeneous painting with sparse weathering will blend the rivets into the panels to create a [...]
