Arma Hobby PZL P-11c
Here’s my 1/72 Arma Hobby PZL P-11c. This is a nice little kit, although I think the panel lines on the wings are overdone. The fuselage and interior are excellent. A nice interior with PE is provided in this “Expert” edition. You [...]
La La Lavochkin Land! 1/48 Zvezda La-5s
I get inspired by the planes I fly in flight simulators. Go figure. I've flown the LaGG-3 in IL2-GB and hated every minute of it. Once I stepped up to the La-5 I had something approaching the same revelatory moment pilots had when they [...]
Finland Air Force . Hawker Hurricane Mk.I . Tamiya . 1/48
Hello Everyone,
The Tamiya Hawker Hurricane Mk.I is a Superb kit, although its an Italeri rebox.
The kit is a simple straight forward build and its a New tooling for the Hurricane in 1/48 scale. The detail is great out of the box for this [...]
Lightning White 33
Here's my take on Tamiya's 1/48 scale P-38 Lightning model. The kit gives you the choice of building either Miss Virginia (P-38 G) or White 33 (P-38F). Despite the historical significance of Miss Virginia and the mission to shoot-down [...]

After looking at my Beaufighter for five months, I decided that it needed a little roughing-up. So I broke-out the thinner, some swabs, and a bottle of Model Master chrome silver paint and went to town. Along the way, I managed to break [...]
Tamiya 1/72 Corsair
Hi everyone! This time I wanted to make another Corsair but with less weathering. I chose the Tamiya 1/72 one. I spent a while building this last Saturday since I had an online speech and debate tournament. At first, they tried making the [...]
Mitsubishi A6M3 Zero Type 22 - IJN 251 Kokutai - Hiroyoshi Nishizawa – Spring 1943
Bonjour dear iModelers,
After my previous Corsair, it was logical to follow with a Zero fighter. I had on stock the Hasegawa A6M3 Type 22 model (JT17) for more than 20 years, therefore it was time to take care of it.
I decided to make a [...]
It was going to be literally out of the box
A while back on another site someone started a thread about building a kit without painting any of it. Just a pure build to see how well you could do without hiding flaws with paint. Most everyone said “no way.” But I kinda liked the [...]
Pz. VIII Maus
I got this model and built it. It is one of my favorite builds. (link) Check out this link for my YouTube channel to see model unboxing and virtual tours and me playing games.
Messerschmitt 110
Originally this 1/48 Fujimi Bf- 110 was to have the mouth marking on the nose, but the decal wouldn’t lay down on the compound curved nose properly, so I went to plan B. I found some photographs in a book that showed a similarly painted [...]
