WIP : Tamiya 1/72 SuperCobra Pt. 1
So after a few rounds of fixing seamlines, I thnk I’ll go ahead with the painting stage. It’s hardly flawless but I think I’ve gotten it as far as I’m willing to go. I cut the main rotor into 3 pieces after reading that Italeri (this is a Tamiya rebox) molded the blades on backwards. …...

WIP : 1/48 A-4E Skyhawk ‘TOPGUN 56’ Pt. 2
Another queen (this time from 2011) joins the masses. 😀 This is a Hasegawa 1/48 Skyhawk kit to be draped as TOPGUN 56, an A-4E flown by the US Navy as an Aggressor. The scheme is very unique with a desert camo MiG-17 silhouette superimposed on the aircraft. This build is heavily reliant on the …...
WIP : 1/72 Skunkmodels Reaper Pt. 2
Yeah it took a while but I’m almost done with this one. There has been quite a few minor disasters but none too serious luckily. I still have the antenna, weapons and navigation lights left to complete. Hopefully I can finish this by the end of the week....
WIP : 1/72 Skunkmodels Reaper Pt. 1
I couldn’t resist starting on this when it arrived a few days ago. A pleasant surprise is the inclusion of 2 units of MQ-9s in the box, with 2 complete sets of decals too. A greater surprise is how big the MQ-9 actually is… It came together straightforward enough although the in order to get …...
WIP : Hobbyboss 1/72 F-14B Tomcat Pt.1
The next project is a new kit instead of finishing a shelf queen. My friend said that this kit was quite straightforward compared to the Hasegawa. Let’s see shall we? First impressions are good so far. The panel lines aren’t as fine as Hasegawa’s but aren’t as deep as the Revell’s. Shape looks alright too....
WIP : 1/48 A-4E Skyhawk ‘TOPGUN 56’ Pt. 1
This one’s been in the backburner for awhile (what else is new?) so it’s time for it to see the light of day again. The plan is OOB with decals from TwoBobs Decals. Back when the US Navy ran the United States Navy Fighter Weapons School aka ‘TOPGUN’, it operated A-4 Skyhawks in the role …...
Preview : Hobby Boss 1/48 F-14B Tomcat

WIP : Lockheed Martin F-16A ADF ‘AMI’ Pt. 2
Work on the cockpit begins. The consoles are all decals. Looks decent enough especially since I’m keeping the canopy closed. Ejection seat next. There’s quite a few details missing like the prominent canopy breakers and the green oxygen bottle on the left side of the seat. I added seatbelts using strips of masking tape. They...
