AC-47, Monogram C-47 Conversion in 1/48th
This was my second attempt at the AC-47. The Spooky was so incredible I built one back in the 1980's. This one 20 plus years later had the help of a resin kit for the guns and gun sight. I re-scribed all the panel lines and made the [...]
Airfix 1/72 A-4B Skyhawk, VA-15 Valions, USS Intrepid, Tonkin Gulf 1967

The Sacrifices They Made In A ‘Nam Huey Hog
I've finally worked up the courage to make my first ever post online of my own scale model.
I have my eye on the Tamiya 1/32 F4U-1A but will have to save up for that one! I blame iModeler for my longing for the 1/32 Tamiya F4U because I [...]
