Bren Gun Carrier MkII Scratch Built
This is a Canadian WWII Expeditionary Force MkII Universal Carrier of the 1st Canadian Division Carleton & York Regiment. Built from Pine.
C-1 105mm Towed Howitzer Royal Canadian Artillery (M2A1) Scratch Built
This is a C-1 Howitzer built from Pine from Pictures. Yes I know, some of the pictures are a little dark. Building a new model, always a welcome challenge. Challenge is strength building.
Spitfire MkVI
This is my newest model Aircraft. Spitfire Mark six was not the best or the most favourable variant but I want to make it because it is unique and it’s ways. This is one of my foot-long’s built from scratch. Built from Pine.
Tamiya F4U-1A, 1/48. Two Planes in One.
The final aircraft from the Corsair trio build is one that represents the 3rd largest operator of the Corsair, the Royal New Zealand Air Force whom operated the type from land bases in 1944/45.

Tamiya F4U-1C, 1/48. The Sky Pirates.
One omission from the plethora of Corsair models out there is the F4U-1C, in fact there isn't even a company that offers a resin conversion set for this type. Not wanting to miss out on the only -1 variant I haven't yet built I decided to [...]

Airfix 1/72 Bristol Beaufort.
Another gem of a kit from Airfix. Flawless fit from start to finish. Built from the box, apart from an Eduard harness I added to the pilot seat.
Finished in MRP paints, with some oils for final weathering.
A highly enjoyable build, it took [...]
Me262 Night Fighter 1/48th Dragon
I finished this kit a few years back. Simply said, it is no Tamiya! I have not built a lot of Dragon model kits, but what I have built have all had the same trait. Basically subcomponents or assemblies fit together well, but when you [...]
1/48 Bristol Beaufighter Mk VIF – Malta 1942
My first attempt at an article or work in progress on this site, please bear with me! Recently purchased (more like invested) in a Harder-Steenbeck Infinity airbrush and decided to try this out on a new kit build; this Tamiya classic [...]
