For several years I had a goal of building 1/48 scale models of all the Navy dive-bombers that saw action in WWII. I'd been fascinated with dive-bombing ever since I read Walter Lord's book "Incredible Victory", and saw the movie "Midway" in th[...]

Greetings! A kit I haven't seen built a whole lot is Tiger Model's 1/35th CB90 Combat Boat. Rumors and the internet have it that Tiger is coming out with a US Navy version but I am impatient and decided to convert their existing kit into a Riv[...]

Hello iModeler! Here is my Revell F/A-18F Super Hornet. Good from afar but far from good... but learned more from this build than I did from my recent Tamiya builds. Exhaust cans are resin Wolfpack cans, decals are CAM Pro VFA-41 and ordnance[...]

I must say I was always intimidated by builds of modern aircraft but this build changed my mind. The kit is from 1988 and does not stand up to the new Tamiya kit but I managed to have a lot of fun with it. Lots of fit issues and old decals but I[...]
