Tamiya 1/48 A6M3 Model 22a Zero
Just completed the superlative Tamiya Zero. it is a much more complex kit than I am used to building, but it went together without a hitch. this was my first attempt with multilayer chipping, and I have learned some lessons that I will [...]
Tamiya A6M5, 1/48. The Eternal Zero.
The most iconic Japanese aircraft is easily the Mitsubishi A6M, and Tamiya's most recent tooling from 2008 absolutely does justice to such a plane. Before going any further this kit can be summed up as 'absolutely recommended', or 'one of [...]
TAMIYA A6M5 Zero 1:48
It's funny, but you will forgive me (I hope): since I returned to this hobby after more than 40 years of absence, I am amazed to retrace paths that others younger than me have already traveled. I have rediscovered a state of the art light [...]
Tamiya G4M1 ‘Betty’ & A6M3 ‘Hamp’ 1/48, Operation Vengeance Collection
I like to think I know a fair bit about WW2 aviation, but I didn't expect how massive the G4M1 was until the box arrived in the post. At a wingspan of 41.6cm, and a fuselage length of 51.8cm, this model dwarfs anything else I've made and [...]

The Prodigal Scale Modeler

Mitsubishi A6M2b Zero (Zeke) – Tamiya 1/72
This is the Tamiya 1/72 Mitsubishi A6M2b Zero.
Tamiya 1/48 A6M2 Zeke
This is my second completion for the Empire of Japan group build. This Tamiya kit isn't too bad for how old it is. Minimal part count makes it a quick build. It does lack detail but makes a good kit for practice. I built it OOB just adding [...]
A6M2N Rufe, 1/72 Revell,Lodela{Frog]
Another obscure kit from the cheap seats. I found this in a hobby shop which sells older kits.
Lodela's/Revell 1/72 Nakajima Rufe, the kit date backs to the late seventies and it's supposed to be Frog molds. A very basic kit, more basic [...]
Hasegawa 1/48 A6M2 Zero
With Louis Gardner's article series on Japanese aircraft colors ramping up ((link)), I thought I'd deliver my take on the early war Mitsubishi A6M2.
Hasegawa's Zero has been around for 25 years now, and it is still a very nice kit. It [...]
