New to scale modeling. Love WWII planes especially the Spitfire, Zero and P-51. Japanese aircraft are some of my favorites to make. Pretty much here to learn from all you great modelers.
Had some problems with this kit, lost some parts (gun sight), broke some parts (antenna), decals disintegrated on me so I stole a few from a MiG-21 kit so this is a fictitious plane. I didn't want to do a NMF so I free handed the camo for [...]
This is an old Hasegawa kit from 1994 that I had sitting in my closet for the while. The decals were unusable so I built it without them. I painted on the meatballs and hand brushed the tail number with a stencil. I went for a field [...]
Bandai 1/72 Y-Wing painted in my own scheme. I went for a grimy all metal finish that wasn't too shiny. I think it came out ok. Attaching all the pipes was the only hassle of the build. As usual painted with lacquers and weathered with [...]
This was a fun project for me. I took a break from modeling for a while I wanted to try something different as I usually do 1/48 aircraft. This is the first time a tried a vehicle and at 1/24 scale this thing is still pretty tiny. I wanted [...]
1/48 Tamiya Spitfire Mk.I (Newer kit) built out of box. I had a lot of mess ups along they way on this one no where near perfect they never are for me. Not the kits fault. First time trying freehand camo I couldn't get a really tight [...]
Decided to build another Bandai Star Wars kit since I had so much fun on the last one I did. These go together really easily with no fuss which makes it a low stress build allowing me to focus most of my attention on painting and [...]
I been away from the hobby for a bit and got the itch to build something again... I usually do 1/48 WWII aircraft so this was a bit of a change for me. The assembly of the kit was amazing everything snapped together like legos no glue was [...]
1/48 Airfix Spitfire Mk.V painted with Tamiya and Mr. Color paints, weathered with oils and chalk pastels. I painted the markings and exhaust stains and no decals were used because I didn't have any lol. The markings for this plane are [...]
I think this is my fourth build for The Empire of Japan Group. Nice kit for being so old but it does lack the detail of the newer kits. I decided to do the field applied paint scheme to change it up a bit and it was a lot of fun. Painted [...]
Nakajima Ki-44 II Hei Shoki (Tojo)
Imperial Japanese Army, 1 Yasen Hoju Hikotai, Singapore, 1944
Pilot: Captain Ryotaro Jobo
This is my third build for the Empire of Japan group. Not a bad kit for being so old. What it lacks in the cockpit [...]
