Former Brazilian Jug
Before Spitfirepalooza, there was “I Like Jugs.” My 1/72 Spitfire collection is a bit larger than my P-47 one but, my 1/48 P-47 collection wins (for now, those Eduard overtrees I just bought will turn the tide when done). This is [...]

I Remade My Oldest Surviving Childhood Model Kit
An old and flawed kit, but one that has a special place in the memory banks for me - when I was 12 we were told we could have a home made mascot on our desks for end of primary school exams. I persuaded my parents to get me a Flying [...]
Gentile’s P-51
Here’s my interpretation of Don Gentile’s P-51 “Shangri-La” using the Tamiya 1/48 kit. It’s another build from some years ago to add to my iModeler archive. I used the Aires cockpit set for this one.
M4A1 Sherman
I got this model for a model display I was going to have with my friends. I really enjoyed building it. The Sherman is one of my favorite tanks. This is the other model I have for VJ Day.
Motor Torpedo Boat PT-109
I received this model a while ago as a gift. It was the first model of that company I ever got. It was also one of the first models I got. I really enjoyed putting it together. This is one of two models I got for VJ Day.

Macchi C.202 Folgore - 21° Gruppo Autonomo C.T. - 1943
Bonjour dear iModelers,
I wanted to make a "full options" model, with difficult camouflage, just to test my possibilities. My choice fell on the MC.202 Folgore d'Hasegawa, re-boxed by Eduard in 2016 in Limited Edition (#1132), [...]
A book: Fighters of World War II
This is a book I find myself coming back to every now and then. If you are into american hardware (plus the odd Spitfire) this is a must have. Written by Jeffrey L Ethell and Robert T Sand it is jam packed with mostly Sand's colour photos [...]
1/72 Italeri Henschel Hs-129B-2 (No.1294)
Built straight from the box, with kit decals. Although quite an od kit, and may lack some detail by today's standards, it is still a very nice and easy build.
