1/48th Tamiya F4U-1A 'Sally'
Years back, I read an article in Air Classics telling the story of 'Sally'. That Corsair was a salvage job constructed from the remains of several Corsair hulks from the boneyard by mechanics of Marine Service Squadron Eleven out in the [...]
Tamiya 1/48 Storch in Yugoslav markings
Here for my 2nd post is a Tamiya 1/48 scale Storch. It is completely OOB except for some Eduard pre-painted seatbelts. Decals are from "Lift Here" and represent an aircraft from the Royal Yugoslav Air Force, ca Spring 1940.
Hasegawa / Alleycat 1:32 , Kawasaki Ki-100 Goshikisen
Finished this one last week.
The Hasegawa Ki-61 kit with the Alleycat Ki-100 resin fuselage. A first glance at the resin gave me the impression that I was in for an easy build. Nice panel lines, no bubbles, nice detail. The stuff looks the [...]

It is Eduard's 1/48 scale Polikarpov I-16, Type 10. I used decals from a long OOP Superscale sheet for the code letters/numbers and the 'Betty Boop' on the tail. All other [...]
P-40E Aleutian Tiger
I built this a while ago but thought it would be good for my first iModeler post.
This aircraft is from the 343rd FG, 11th FS in the Aleutians 1942. I thought this was different in that there were no blue surrounds on the national [...]

1/48 Revell PT-17 Stearman
Here's the iModeler Review kit from a few weeks ago... 🙂
A fun little kit that goes together very well. No putty needed, this is perhaps Revell's best-fitting kit. The kit's rigging diagram was helpful, but could've been a little [...]
Me I'm going with this one!
I still love this box top, and built it still looks "good enough". I built one about 43 years ago,and loved it! Accurate, nope, fun...yep! That and the Tamiya 1/25 Tiger I, because sometimes you need to stop being so darned [...]
