Here you will find an airplane model kit gallery displaying some of the most recent scale model aircraft projects. Airplane models that will take you back on a historical journey of military flight and the legendary aces that flew them. Although I build a wide variety of airplane model kits, Model Aces specializes in World War II military aircraft in 1/32 and 1/48 scale. Please check the featured column to the left, where you will find an excellent example of my most recent scale model aircraft. If you would like to commission any of the airplane model kits you see here or would like a specific or custom made aircraft, please contact me via email and I will discuss the project with you.

Take notice that although my plastic scale models are not highly priced, quality and attention to detail are not sacrificed. Yes, the airplane model kits are exceptionally well built with outstanding detail and I will be happy to provide you with a decent estimate on the build.

Every scale model aircraft I build receives the same care. For that, I spend time studying the original airplane, its history and its operation before I begin assembling it. I use a high quality Paasche airbrush together with an Iwata compressor. I utilize Tamiya primers [primer paints are used after joints are seated as well as possible], Tamiya acrylic paints, Model Master enamels and Gunze paints on all my plastic scale models. Weathering and dry brushing is applied on interior parts such as the cockpit and engine, as well as the exterior of the aircraft. A coat of Future floor wax is applied to every airplane model kit prior to decal application allowing the aircraft to accept the decals well. I then use a special setting solution to soften the decal so it can sit well along the surface of the plastic scale model, making it look like it is part of the paint job. I then seal the entire airplane model with a choice of gloss or dull coat - usually its dull coat - to seal the decals. The completed airplane model is extremely accurate and historically correct in construction, markings, customizations and finish.

Please note that the scale model aircraft kits that I build are not toys; they are extremely delicate, finely detailed and finished injection-moulded polystyrene plastic models intended for static exhibit only.

Be sure to visit my web site periodically for announcements, tutorials, tips and the latest photos of my built scale model aircraft. Also, I welcome any questions, comments or feedback you may have regarding my airplane models or my website as well as suggestions for new links to be added to my resource pages. Thank you for taking the time to visit my website, I look forward to building for you.
