USS ENTERPRISE (CVN-65) 1:350
39”, took me about a week. I did not paint the hull the traditional red, after taping off and getting the black straight, I was not about to push my luck and do the red with a second tape off. The lines are decals from STARFIGHTER [...]
Supermarine Spitfire Mk.Ia
AirFix 1:72 scale model that went together well. The Spitfire gained immortality during the Battle of Britain in the summer and into the fall of 1940. The main role was to intercept and destroy the Luftwaffe’s fighters while the [...]
Brewster B-339 Buffalo, Tamiya 1/48 (No.61094 year 2004)
Hi all,
Already four months ago I received this wonderful gift from my great friend Spiros @fiveten

Tamiya 1/48 Lancaster B I/III
Two Lancaster models are presented here that differ in the engine layout and the H2S radar.
Tamiya's venerable Lancaster was criticized for the poor fit of parts, especially the engine nacelles to the wings and (wrongly) for the raised [...]

1:48 Tamiya F4U-1D Corsair, VF-84, White 167 – Jim Sullivan GB
I bought this kit for $10 at a model show and just had it sitting around for a rainy day. Well, we haven’t had a rainy day in Minnesota since May so I opted to use it for this group build. I wish I had something more unique to offer, but [...]

Hataka Golden [...]
Tamiya 1/48 P-38G "Miss Virginia"
Here is my take on Tamiya's delightful 1/48 P-38 G/F. I found this for a really nice price online and the seller included a Brassin wheel set and Model Masters metal barrels which I added along with a Eduard Zoom instrument panel/belts to [...]
