OK, finally got this done. Its not my best work, but not at all bad. Its a slick as I sacrificed parts to the model Gods, so no weapons.

Well, Ive been busy with life and havent posted in a bit. I did get another project done. The 1/48 Hasegawa F-14D Idol Masters series. These were Japan only releases, so they show up rarely in the States. This one popped up and I was able to snag it. The kit itself, blargh. This was my first...

OK, so I am not big on WWII planes. There are some I like, but not a whole lot. And I certainly am NOT a fan of doing German subjects. BUT, the Stuks has always been one of those planes I just like. So I have had this kit in the stash for a while and decided to dig into it. Its an interesting...

OK, so I decided to do the original Monogram Cylon Raider. The God awful remake ships look like Independence day rip offs. Anyway, this kit was CLEARLY meant to be a toy and not a serious model. The fit is bad and the the "exhaust" area is horrendous. Like BAD. I ended up fishing some exhaust...

Just finished this one. Kit was awesome as is to be expected with Tamiya. Painting is rather easy. Flat black. Done. LOL As I mentioned, no weathering. They didnt allow these planes to get dirty at all. The Caracal decals were fantastic. Also to be expected. And not a lot of them. Again, not...

My latest project completed. This is a new tool kit from 2018. And let me tell you, it does NOT show. I wont get into every issue I had, but suffice it to say this is NOT worth the 80.00 it was when first released. I also bought the D boxing, so that will be an adventure when I do it. But I...

One of the projects I did while away from the site was a side by side of the Tamiya F-14a and the AMK F-14D. Both are excellent kits. The AMK falls short though due to a nasty join between the fuselage and the nose. Something a high end kit should not suffer from. Otherwise, great kit. The...

This was my last build of 22. The Polar Lites Space Seed boxing of their 1/1000 Enterprise with the Botany Bay added in. Note, this is NOT one of their high end kits. It is a rebox of their snap together. FIT IS AWFUL. It was clearly never meant to be a "real" model. Decals are horrid as well...

This is another recent build of mine. The Italeri 1/48 Skyraider in VNAF markings. The Skyraider, in all its variations, is one of my favorite prop planes. Perhaps THE favorite. The U.S. gave over a number of different aircraft to the Vietnamese Air Force. Skyraiders being one of them. They came...

I finished this one up a month or so ago. This is the new tool from Revell. I have seen reviews where some folks have been whining about the fit of the engine nacelles and other spots. All I have to say is, then you didnt take your time. I had ZERO fit issues putting them together. Are they a...

Hey folks. Been quite a while since I posted here. Looks like the site has had a face lift. :) Just thought I would share my latest build. The D9R armored dozer in 1/35 by Meng. Good kit, but the tracks suck. I got the Friul metal tracks. MUCH better. This is the first target I have ever done...

Finished this one a week and half ago.

The Revell 1/48 F-15C ANG 75th Anniversary

This is the Testors 1/32 HH-43 Huskie. A very unique design. A brief history taken from Wikipedia: In 1947 Anton Flettner, a German aviation engineer, was brought to New York in the United States as part of Operation Paperclip.[1] He was the developer of Germany's Flettner Fl 282 "Kolibri"...

So, I am on a helo kick now. This one I just finished on the 1st. I am working on a HH-43 Huskie now.

This my friends is probably the crappiest kit I have ever finished. It came nano seconds from aerodynamics testing multiple times. Every part had flash. Every part required sanding and repeated dry fitting. EVERY. PART. Not exaggerating. This is the 1/48 Zhengdefu/Hobby Craft re pop of the...

Well, it seems the place is back up! Here are some of the projects I wrapped up while it was down. Revell 1/48 FA-18: Revell 1/144 C-17: Revell 1/48 B-1B:

This was a quick build. Just gonna post the pics of the finished product. This is the MRC 1/35 kit. The fit was HORRID with the canopy. Which is not a small deal. The rest of the kit was not bad at all. Though the kit I had the parts for the tail were slightly warped which led to a lot of...

Well, I discovered something. Hasegawa evidently has two sets of 1/72 F4s. An older tool (60s or 70s) that isnt really all that. And a newer much nicer tooling from the 90s. Well, I was unaware of that. I purchased this kit at our local IPMS meeting for our annual build the same kit contest. The...

I took pics as I built, but didnt post them. So you get it all at once! LOL This is an old kit, originally tooled 1978. And it shows. You can see how bad seams were. And it lacked any kind of meaningful detail. Hence the after market stuff. Which is Aires exhausts, Eduard PE and True Details...
