Here are my final two builds, both of them Tamiya 1/48 scale Me 262's. The Me 262A-1a Me 262A-2a Matrixone

While I had many reference books out for the 1/72 scale Fw 190's that are being built I thought this is as good as any time to build a 1/32 scale Hasegawa D-9. Box top contents Cockpit and engine plug have been assembled and painting has started on them. The cockpit and engine plug...

This just in: a double build of Fw 190's in 1/72 scale has started. Here are the kits underway as of this morning. I really like the HobbyBoss kit, the idea of an ultra simple model kit with low parts count is perfect for younger people who have never attempted to build a model before. The...

This model was built from the Arii 1/72 scale Dinah trainer kit. The model was put in the markings of one of the many aircraft that was used on November 1st 1945 against the Allied forces when they attempted to storm the beaches of Japan. Anything that could fly (including trainers)were used by...

Here it is, the finished Hasegawa Bf 109K-4. Matrixone

This model was finished days ago and I had to wait for the weather to settle down before I could get these pictures. The Panther was not washed before being driven onto my photobase but at least it made it there even if it was messy. ;) Here are the rest of the snaps. and a few when...

All three of my current group of models are getting close to being finished and decided on building a Tamiya Me 262A-2a for my next project, instead of just one Me 262 why not build two? This way I can have quicker production and not have reference books of several different aircraft types...

Here are some snaps of the finished Bf 110G-4, an old but still good kit. If anybody out there is planning to build this kit dry fit the radar antenna BEFORE the model is painted, I did not and wished I had! ;) The model was built O.O.B. and painted with Model Master enamels, markings came...

Here it is, the finished Tamiya Dinah. Matrixone

As usual for me this model was built O.O.B. and aftermarket decals were used, paints used were Model Master enamels shot through my Iwata Revolution BR airbrush. This model was finished a couple weeks ago but because of all the poor weather it was not possible to get out to the airfield and get...

This model has been finished for nearly three weeks and finally was able to get some pictures. ;) The model was built O.O.B. and Aeromaster decals were used. For such an old kit it was not too bad to put together and I like the surface detail even if its overstated...better this way than none...

I have had this kit for a very long time and will finally try to build it, the dust on top of the box is getting pretty thick! This will not be a very accurate model but I am not too concerned about that, this will be built as a needed break from my usual wing things. The box will be opened...

I stumbled onto a really good site filled with many good photographs from the WW II era, its ''World War II in Pictures, Photo's You Probably Haven't Seen Before''. This site lives up to the title, there are a lot of photographs that are new to me and I have barely looked at a fraction of what...

This model was built from the 1/72 scale Dragon Me P.1101 kit. The model was built O.O.B. and markings came mostly from my spare decal box. Some may wonder why this aircraft has green instead of gray squiggles for the camouflage pattern, as it turned out by the time the Me P.1101 was entering...

I thought I posted the pictures of the finished model of the Junkers Ju EF 128 but I guess not. :S This model was built SFTB from the 1/72 scale Huma kit, as the norm for Huma kits the decals were not worth using so I raided my decal spares box for the markings of this aircraft operated by JG...

Here is the completed Revell 1/72 scale Ho 229, after many delays because of dodgy weather I was able to get out to the airfield and get some pictures. The model was put into the only known unit that was assigned this aircraft...JG 400. The Horten Ho 229 was painted in the standard colors...

This model has been finished for a few days and just today I was able to go outside and get some pictures of it. ;) My idea (and inspiration) for building some Japanese aircraft came from Youtube, there was an old song that I wanted to hear and looked it up and came across a modern video of...

Here are the results of my long term weathering experiment. As I build more and better models some of the old finished models need to be disposed of to make room for the new builds, instead of just throwing them away I saved two of them for a weathering experiment where the models will be...

Its been a while since I have built any non-Luftwaffe models so I dug this Tamiya kit out of the stash and started it, this is an older Tamiya kit and is crude compared to their more recent kits and does not have very exciting surface detail but maybe with some careful painting and weathering an...

The 1/32 scale Hasegawa Bf 109G-10 was finished a few days ago and here are some pictures to prove it. This model was built O.O.B. and I used EagleCals for the markings of ''green 4'' of 11./JG 300, this aircraft survived the war but was later scrapped. Matrixone
