Did this one a while ago - pretty much OOB, with Eduard seatbelts, and some added antenna wires and brake lines. Decals are from EagleStrike. Paints are Gunze Aqueous and Tamiya. Like any of the newer Tamiya kits, it was a pleasure to [...]
I have been working on this kit off and on for several months now, and finally pushed through to completion. it is pretty much OOB, with Eduard seatbelts and a few other little details added. My main goal on this build was to experiment [...]
The recent beautiful 1/24 Harrier builds made me dig back and think I should post my own Harrier build of a few years ago. I built this for a friend's father who flew them with the RAF (among his many other duties). I wrote this up for [...]
Ok - I had been noticing this series of 1/48 scale armor kits that Tamiya has steadily been releasing, and reading a lot of favorable reviews. I wanted a 'quick' fun build, so when I saw this i thought I would give it a try. I can [...]

Here is Hasegawa’s 1/48 [...]

Here for my 2nd post is a Tamiya 1/48 scale Storch. It is completely OOB except for some Eduard pre-painted seatbelts. Decals are from "Lift Here" and represent an aircraft from the Royal Yugoslav Air Force, ca Spring 1940.
