Eduard 1/72 Spitfire Mk IXe ProfiPack

August 22, 2022by christopherpflueger 5 Comments

For me, this kit was a perseverance project. I actually considered throwing it away without finishing it when I was about midway through. This is my story.

1/72 Mitsubishi G4M1 (“Betty”) with Ohka

July 21, 2022by christopherpflueger Leave a comment

Over all my years of collecting and building models, I never had a Betty… until I saw this old kit in the local hobby store. I saw the price tag of $13 (you can see the sticker in my box-top image) and thought, “Now’s my chance!”

1/72 Ki-84 Hayate (“Frank”)

July 21, 2022by christopherpflueger Leave a comment

1/72 Mitsubishi Ki-51 “Sonia” Japanese Army Type 99 Assault/Reconnaissance Aircraft

June 29, 2022by christopherpflueger Leave a comment

I had one of these back in the ’70s, so when I saw the kit at the local hobby shop — in a condition and at a price that suggested it had been on someone’s shelf for quite a while before being transferred for resale — I sprang for it and recently put it together.
