Currently I live in Virginia Beach. I have been building models off and on for around 50 some years now. Give or take. As you can see by the posts of models that I have made I generally build motorcycles. Any scale, it doesn't matter. Small to large. Favorites would be the Tamiya kits as the engineering in these are far superior to other model companies. I hope that you all enjoy the posts that I make and I'll be posting more as they become available.
Well, I am stepping WAY out of my "comfort zone" with this one. I have not built an aircraft model of any kind in many, MANY years. I'll be building this one specifically as a review for IMODELER.

George Williams hit the nail on the head with the 1/6 Tamiya kit.

Well, some folks were looking forward to the build of a snap kit from me. So here it is. First it's necessary to let you know that the deal I made was for an incomplete kit. Which I knew going in. I made the deal because I happened to [...]
Well, this one is now complete. Although an older kit from Tamiya it was a good build. With the exception of just a couple of very minor issues.
Starting off was the usual engine build. Seems that almost all of the Tamiya motorcycle [...]
This is the opening of the still sealed box of the 1982 release of the Tamiya Suzuki 1/2 GSX1100S Katana.
Even though this model was produced in 1982 the contents were still sealed in their plastic bags. I noticed that NONE of the parts [...]
TAMIYA 1/12 YAMAHA RZ250
This model start with the assembly of the engine. This is relative simple and is accomplished in two steps using only 12 pieces. However, just because there aren’t many parts does not mean that it’s not open [...]
When first opening the box you are met with multiple bags of parts that are nicely, and firmly, placed in the box. As seen here.
There are only five total sprues of parts. One white, one chrome, one clear and two black. Also is a bag [...]
