Achtung, Stuka! Out-of-box build of Ju 87B-2 in winter camouflage (Trumpeter 1:32)
This build is again for my friend who is re-newing the lost collection of his father. Therefore it was done right out of the box with minimum weathering and no changes.
I do not like german WW2 aircrafts much and this particularly one is [...]
MIGS..... 1/72 too small...1/48 too big:)
Excuse me for my need to whine... I want to build a MIG 29, Foxbat, or 30 whatever.
I just got the 1/72 Trumpeter MIG 29SMT Fulcrum kit. Nice but for me...I don't build 1/72.
The 1/48 scale is my preference for aircraft..but in 1/48 a [...]

Providing a Road Map for 1/700 Essex Class Modernization – 1/700 USS Hornet (CV/CVS-12) Double Build
I had so much fun with my last Essex-class double build of a 1945 and 1968 USS Bon Homme Richard (CV/CVA-31) that decided to try it again, this time focusing on a better way to convert a model of a straight-deck WW II Essex into a postwar [...]

Uss Mustin - DDG 89 - Trumpeter - 1/350
To build it I used Trumpeter's Uss Forrest Sherman. The Uss Mustin belongs to the Flight IIA series and was the first to incorporate the new configuration of the chimneys that reduced the silhouette and radar signature. In the same way [...]
Trumpeter 1/48 F9F-2 Panther
For my first contribution to iModeller, I attach pictures of my Panther, which was one of the first 1/48 models I built. I found this kit very easy to assemble, with almost no fit issues. What small issues there were, could be easily [...]
1/35 Trumpeter T-62
And another on the old build parade
This was done in 2016, spring I think. It required considerable modification such as adjusting the suspension to reflect fire weakened tortion bars, the bottomed out cannon, the unshipped turret, and of [...]
Trumpeter PLAAF Chengdu J-10B
This was a quick build of Trumpeter's 1/48 scale Chengdu J-10B Vigorous Dragon - the Chinese People's Liberation Army Air Force's equivalent to the ubiquitous American F-16 Viper. Cheap, multi-role and increasingly sporting the latest [...]
