SDB-3 Dauntless ‘Battle of Midway’
I was reading Tom's terrific article from November 11 (here in Britain, Armistice Day, first designated to honour the dead of the Great War), and another great battle of the Pacific theatre in WW2 came to mind - Midway.
It's always been [...]
Good idea, Tom, for the USMC’s birthday…
what better representative than the defenders of Wake Island. An epic defense if there ever was one, Wake's Marines were the only ones to successfully repel an island invasion. A big part was the fierce attacks of the island's few F4F [...]
1/32nd Trumpeter F4U-1D Conversion To F4U-1A
This model was originally finished as a F4U-1A in the markings of VMF-222. The original build had a True Details cockpit installed as the kit cockpit had numerous errors. I also changed the frameless kit F4U-1D canopy and substituted the [...]
Trumpeter Bf 109G2 in 1/32 scale by Tony Prince
I bought this kit intending to do a '109F' as stated on the box top. Subsequently I read several reviews which clearly indicated that it was a 'G2' & how to make suitable backdate adjustments. The one error no one seemed to spot would [...]
Trumpeter BMP 1
Couple week's work. Nearing completion now. Still detail work and some weathering with pigments and the like to go. Really nice build.
Trumpeter 1/32 P-38 Lightnings

P-38H done as McGuire's first [...]
P-38L Lightning Trumpeter 1/32
Hi Guys,
Here are a few photos of a recent BMF project, with Kitsworld aftermarket decals. I also used the Eduard Big Ed etch set, which added a higher degree of complexity to the build.
Thanks for looking.
Messerschmitt Me 262 A-1a by Trumpeter in 1/32 scale
This model represents the Me 262 A-1a flown by Major Walter Novotny, based in Achmer, in November 1944.
The kit went together quite easily & some light rubbing down after the application of Tippex in various places minimised the effect [...]
1/24 Trumpeter Hurricane Mk IIC – Special Night Finish
Here are a couple of shots of Trumpeter's 1/24 Hurricane. I bought the kit second-hand at a model show last spring and built it in the summer. It's OOB except for replacement belts. The livery is for a night fighter of 87 Squadron in [...]
Trumpeter Hurricane Mk IIc Trop 213 sqd.
I received this kit from a friend a while back and I started it then. That was about a year or so ago. Since then I lost some pieces, had a really bad time with my skills on the pit and the engine so there it sat, in the stash awaiting [...]
