Welcome to The Scale Model Hanger

Welcome to The Scale Model Hangar—come on in, the doors are always open. Don’t mind the fuel and oil smells; that’s probably just your imagination.

At my wife’s suggestion, I decided to start a blog to keep a written and photographic log of my model builds, and so here we are. I don’t consider myself a master craftsman, and this blog isn’t intended to be a step-by-step guide on how to become a “Master Builder.” My hope is simply that it provides fellow modelers with some inspiration, along with a bit of insight into the kits I work on.

My main focus right now is building the 1/8-scale World War I Aircraft Museum Series kits produced by Hasegawa back in the 1990s. I was fortunate enough to acquire all three releases: the Sopwith Camel, SE5a, and Fokker Dr.I. The Fokker Dr.I will be the first kit on the bench, and the quality of these kits is nothing short of amazing.

While my primary scale of choice is 1/32, which offers plenty of opportunity for detail without becoming too large to display, these 1/8-scale builds are something special and deserve a proper long-term log.

Thanks for stopping by, and I hope you enjoy following along as the builds take shape.
