ANG Mustangs Part 3Published: May 15, 2022 The P-51 in Air National Markings have always interested me and when I saw Iliad Decals was releasing another sheet with them, I couldn’t pass it up. Ironically the Ohio ANG marking included on this sheet was one that I had considered including for the 2009 and the 2015 IPMS Nationals Decal sheets but never made the cut. I am pleased that Iliad decided to do this particular marking. … more |

U-2C Dragon Lady Early/Late ModelPublished: December 29, 2021 Kit InformationThe old Hawk/Testors U-2 kit was first introduced in 1962 and for the past 58 years (yes it has been that long) was the only option available to build this aircraft in 48th scale.

Messerschmitt P-1103Published: December 7, 2019 HistorySo the Messerschmitt Me P.1103 was designed in 1944as rocket-powered short-range interceptor.

The construction of the aircraft was kept simple due to the lack of available metals so it was… more |

Top Drawings #61: Messerschmitt Bf-110 Vol. IIPublished: March 31, 2019 The Messerschmitt Bf-110 is another iconic mainstay of Luftwaffe aviation that is most recognizable to almost any aviation enthusiast. Originally designed in the 1930’s, the 110 was one of the Luftwaffe’s heavy-fighter/bomber mainstays. Originally it was anticipated to be replaced in the early 1940’s by the Me-210, but due to the 210’s poor performance issues the 110 was given a second chance… more |

Messershmitt Bf-109G-10Published: February 17, 2017 HistoryThe Bf-109G-10 aircraft is rather unique by the fact that it was somewhat of a ‘Frankenstein’ aircraft put together with available resources at the time. The airframe consisted of a standard G model and incorporated a DB 605 D-2 engine. The reasoning for this was an attempt to create as little disruption to factory production of the Bf-109K’s.
