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!

Model on, guys!
