    Eduard 1/48 Lavochkin LA7

    Nice start. The etch set sure added a lot to the cockpit, well worth the effort.

    1/350 HobbyBoss USS Portsmouth LA Class SUbmarine

    I had forgotten I did not post photos of the completed USS Portsmouth. This is built mostly as it comes from the box with the addition of a 3D printed prop with the auxiliary annular vortex generator (the little prop in the center of the larger one) and slightly modified / improved devices atop...

    1/350 DML USS Hampton

    Recently I finished the LA Class Submarine the USS Hampton SSN 767. This is from the very old DML kit (Ca. 1990), so the details we a bit lacking and the kit dated. I added the built-up deck around the deck hatches, the anhedral stern planes on the lower aft hull were not included in the kit...

    1/350 MikroMir Skipjack Class Submarine

    I recently finished the 1/350 scale MikroMir Skipjack class submarine as the USS Scorpion. The kit was very nice and offered an enjoyable building experience unlike some of MikroMir's earlier kits. I added a 7 bladed scimitar prop that was 3D printed and elected to scratch build or modify the...

    Ernie's IL-2 With Skis

    This will be my entry, the 1/48 Accurate Miniatures IL-2 early single seater with skis. Very few of these aircraft we modified to use skis as it was found that the wheeled undercarriage worked just as well from groomed runways as did the skis. There are several well documented ski equipped...

    Bandai BB-8

    This is the Bandai BB-8 kit I finished a while back. Really quite a fun little build. The base is epoxy putty sculpted to look like desert, and the rollie pollie little one has some subtle weathering added.

    Ernie's A6M2-K Zero

    This will be my entry....... I have a fondness for trainer aircraft, so this had been on my want list / build list for a while, so this is a good opportunity to get it built! I ordered a couple bottles of paint for this last night, and also happily discovered Dead Design makes a canopy mask...

    Matchbox / Revell M1 Abrams

    Finally, after a lapse of about 15 or 16 months, I have finally finished something!! ;) Most of 2022 and the first part of this year have not been conducive to my model building endeavors. This kit is okay, not the best M1 kit out there for sure, but was a fun build and I used it to try out...

    Ernie's OG TIE Fighter, Bandai 1/72

    The TIE Fighter has been a staple fighter craft of the Empire from the original Star Wars movie evolving through all the sequels, spinoffs and expanded universe. This one is the original version from the initial film. I will be building the Bandai kit, which is well detailed and from experience...

    Dragon 1/350 USS Hampton SSN 767

    Started on the USS Hampton kit, another of my Christmas presents. Considering the kit was tooled in 1990 and this version was released in '97, it is not too bad, but I will probably refine a few details. The kit comes with a tail configuration that is not accurate for the real boat, as the...

    Red Iron Scale Models Sputnik 1

    Red Iron Scale Models released this injection molded kit of Sputnik 1 about a year ago and I was fortunate enough to get one at that time and build it. It is not a bad kit, though the included photo etch is rather "robust", which made it a little more challenging to fold. A fun little build...

    USS Portsmouth SSN 707

    I am building the HobbyBoss 1/350 LA Class sub kit as the USS Portsmouth, SSN 707. The kit looks nice in the box, and includes two upper hull halves and two sails giving one the option of building a Flight 1, 2, or 3 (688I) model. Portsmouth was a Flight two version which had the diving...

    1/700 Iranian Ghadir Class Submarines

    Here are a pair of 1/700 scale Ghadir class subs. These are produced by OKB Grigorov, and until I found these I had not really considered that Iran had a submarine force. Learn something new everyday! The box contains two subs in resin and details in photoetch. Each are painted in a color...

    Matchbox M1 Abrams

    I have been working on this little guy for a while now; the Matchbox M1 Abrams. It is not a highly detailed kit, but I want to at least make an attempt to have it turn out decently. As the kit represents an early M1 I elected to paint it in a camo scheme that was used on M1's at Ft. Knox...

    T-6 Texan II

    I have tis going on, trying to get it off the bench by the end of the month. The Ibex 1/48 T-6 Texan II in Centennial of Naval Aviation colors. Not a bad kit really, more like a limited run one than a mainstream such as Hasegawa, etc. It comes with some resin parts for the nose, spinner...

    Revell /Monogram Cylon Raider

    This is my current project, the old Monogram Cylon Raider. Considering the molds are 40 years old it is not too bad, but it does suffer in some areas, especially fit. Aside from that there are a couple of other areas to be addressed; the open holes for the rubber band powered rockets in the...

    Hello

    Hello, I recently joined the forum as I am looking for a nice place to hang out and build models:thumb2: I build a bit of everything, what ever catches my eye at the moment. I just tend to plod along and do my thing, and hope to have a result I am happy with at the end. I am glad to be here...
