1/48 Hasegawa P-47D-25
The latest off the bench for 2021 and my addition to what seems to be Hasegawa P-47 week on iModeler. I won't bore you with all that has been written about this kit, as it's well known by now. It doesn't have the great detail of Tamiya's [...]
Monogram 1/48 F-80s from the shelf of doom…
Original edition of the venerable Monogram F-80 Shooting Stars. I started these two back in the early 80s with he intention of building Minimum and Maximum Goose. I finally finished them using and old set of Aeromaster decals and Model [...]
Hawker Hurricane Snow Base . .

Jagdtiger
Once again I came up with my own camouflage scheme. The funnest part of the whole build was the weathering. The shelves also arrived at my new house so my model stash doesn’t have to be on the floor anymore. My smaller dog had a great [...]

Spitfire Mk I – Tamiya 1/72
My First Tamiya kit. Figured my skill level was progressing enough to do it justice.
Level of detail for 1/72 blows me away. Really challenges the extremes of my psychomotor skills painting all the tiny cockpit items. Tried to paint [...]
