Howdy,

I build almost anything that piques my interest. I build what I like, as I like.

1/35 Tamiya Quads

Here's some pics of my 1/35 Tamiya armor kits. First up is the M16 Quad Gun half track. Pretty much out of the box with stowage from a variety of kits. Painted with Model Master rattlecan OD. Second is a kit bash of the Tamiya (old) M3A1 [...]

1/35 Italeri Hetzer

1/35 Italeri Hetzer. Finished it yesterday, FINALLY! Used Tamiya Panzer IV add on tools (which accounts for the crooked side skirt) and the rubber tracks from the Tamiya Hetzer kit.

1/48 Hasegawa P-38J

Did this one a long time ago. Decals from Aeromaster for an 80th fg bird. True Detail wheels, Xtracolor gloss paints for the OD/Neutral Grey, Testors square bottle gloss green. At the time I did this, I didn't have any real reference [...]

1/25 AMT 1950 Chevrolet 3100 pick up truck

Built out of the box, with wood grain decals for the slats in the bed. Not perfect, but I'm happy with it. Brian Riedel

1/48 Aviatik Berg D.1

1/48 Sierra Scale Models Aviatik Berg D.1, markings for Frank Linke-Crawford. Lozenge decals by Americal-Gryphon. I did this one a long time ago. My first successful vac form kit (in my opinion). It was also my first attempt at spoke [...]

1/48 Eduard Pfalz D-III

The most unlucky kit! 1/48 Eduard Pfalz D-III with decals from the Glencoe kit. While building this one, the control stick broke at least three or four times. The decals shattered and I had to buy another kit to get a complete set (though [...]

1/48 Otaki Ki-61 "Tony"

Howdy, Finally finished this one. Markings are for Captain Ichikawa of the 3rd Chutai, 244th Sentai. The 1/48 Otaki Ki-61, started back in the eighties and sitting on the shelf since then. The decals are from the Aeromaster "Eagles [...]

1/48 Hasegawa P-47D Mike Gladych

Finished this one in October last year. 56th Fighter Group, Mike Gladych. 1/48 Hasegawa P-47D with decals by Techmod. Bazooka tubes are from the Tamiya kit, wheels from True Details. I used Tamiya rattlecan British Dark Green and Medium [...]

1/25 AMT Model T Farm Truck

Howdy, Made this out of one of the many umpteen reissues of the venerable AMT Model T kit. About the only changes I made was to construct a bench seat and bed from various wooden stir sticks. Weathered with graphite, pastels and Tamiya [...]

1/48 Pfalz D-VIII

Howdy, The Pfalz D-VIII is probably my favorite plane of World War One. It's stubby fuselage was a radical departure from the elegant shark like fighters that the Pfalz factory produced before. This is the Tom's Modelworks resin kit. [...]
