Hey Gil,

these are 1/32 scale Itialeri kits. They are ok, they lack detail so be prepared to do some scratch building.

thanks Gil!!

Hi All,

Here is my second all metal skin Starfighter, this version is from Dagnang AB in Vietnam 1968. Once again each panel is hand cut from aluminum sheets. This was my first attempt at a real metal skin aircraft, lots of experimenting on this one! I finished this model about 6 months ago.

Hi All,

Here is a build of a vintage 1975 Tamiya Ferrari 312T. This was actually a great kit considering the age, there were several fit issues but back in the day they weren't using computers so that can be expected. This is such great subject matter as I am a huge Ferrari fan!

I hope you enjoy this build.

Thanks so much! The actual module is not perfectly smooth, all the panels are pretty rough so it was fun to use thin aluminum sheets to replicate the look. Never been a fan of aluminum foil, you can’t sand it and it doesn’t hold paint well. 
thanks for checking out my build!

Thank you very much!!

[Apollo 11 Build]

I sure will! Thank you! Up next I have a Ford GT 40 to build for a client then hopefully I could fit in the Shuttle 😀

[Apollo 11 Build]

Wow how cool! That would be useful. I know Tamiya makes a nice shuttle kit.

[Apollo 11 Build]

Yikes!! Thanks Tom I will definitely hit you up if I do another. I want to do shuttle right after re entry so it’s nice and dirty or a full Apollo rocket.

Hi Tom,

Thank you! I mainly used hiresolution photos from NASA and the Smithsonian. I will need to check out the book. I built that model for the folks at AirBus in France. I’d like to build some more space kits.
