Believe I’ll post something today, too….
Built this Special Hobby 1/32 A5M when it first came out. A fairly easy build, added some interior and engine details. Finish is Alclad White Aluminum mixed with a littleTestor's flat yellow, to get the "Japanese Navy protective [...]
OK here it is, the wait is over for Bill Koppos's Favorite model....and the winner is..............
Special Hobby's 1/32 scale Brewster Buffalo Mark I. Ta Da! (Cue Fireworks...) The maligned Brewster has always been a fascination of mine-why, I'm not sure. I like the looks, the barrel shape, different landing gear, cool glasshouse [...]
Special Hobby 1:32 scale Mitsubishi A5M4 Claude
Hello,
This is my latest build. The Special Hobby , 1:32 scale, A5M4 Claude.
The kit gave me fits sometimes. The instructions weren not all to clear, instructions for the windshield part, decalling and painting for the version I've build [...]
1/48 Albatros C.III
Used in several capacities during the war, manufactured by several contractors, and still flying at war's end, the Albatros C.III is truly a classic, and so is this kit, it is not, the Special Hobby, or the (early, crude) Eduard kit, it's [...]
Special Hobby 1/32 Nieuport 11
This is the Special Hobby 1/32 kit of the Nieuport 11 "Bebe", done OOB. It's the only model out there in this scale of the airplane, and looks very nice sitting next to any WNW kit.

Special Hobby Reggiane 2002
Another 1/48 offering with an interesting history if you're into the obscure and obsolete. Not bad to build, an improvement over some of their other kits. Not as interesting as some of the other Italian camo schemes, but it grew on me. [...]
Special Hobby Bristol Blenheim Mk.1
1/48 , and an interesting aircraft, and usual "interpretive" build, as one needs to get the parts to somehow hold hands long enough for the glue to set. Built several years ago, sans gloss coat, panel lines or weathering. [...]
Special Hobby 1/48 Fiat G.55 “Sottoserie 0″
This kit I did about four or five years back, when it was first released. As a big fan of Italian planes, it is interesting to compare the G.55 to the Macchi C.202 and C.205. The G.55 went into service in 1943, right before the Italian [...]
Blackburn Roc
Built a few months ago (reviewed in detail at Modeling Madness), using the A2Zee conversion set for the Special Hobby kit (which had been sitting around since 2007 till I got this set which increased the interest level). The big deal was [...]
