Here are some of my builds, including the Monogram Spitfire Mk IIa in Doug Bader livery, the Hobbycraft I-16, the Italeri Bf-110 G-4 Nightfighter of NJG1 in late 1944, the old Heller P-40E, the MAC V-1, and the Glencoe Nieuport 28. All models were painted using Model Master enamels, airbrushed with a Badger 350 single action. The squiggle camo on the Bf-110 was applied by hand. The Spit, I-16, and the Nieuport are in 1/48.
The rest are in 1:72. I hand-carved a wooden prop for the Nieuport out of
cedar shingling, using the kit prop as a trace template. Kit decals were
used, except for the I-16 and the P-40, which came from Aeromaster. These
models won't win any contests, but that's OK with me, as I build to please
myself.
I consider myself just a fair modeler with a lot to learn, and thanks to the
great modelers of ARC, I'm learning a lot!
