Revell 1969 Mustang

The back story: In 1969 I bought a brand new Mustang. I was a senior in high school and had saved my summer job money for years. It was bright yellow with the basic 302 ci engine. Black interior. I took it to college the next year. [...]

46 - 1/24 Italeri Fiat 131 Rally

This kit was started with a lot of excitement and finished with huge disappointment. The kit is pretty basic - its an old kit but built up nicely - the disappointment here and where I still didn't learn my lesson, don't worry I've learnt [...]

Kevin Harvick's 2003 Chevy

Last time I posted a completed NASCAR build was (I think) 2017... I started this one around the same time, then lost interest in all NASCAR modelling until about two months ago when I found this and all my others during a stash clear-out. [...]

Porsche GT by Tamiya

My 34th model of the year. I just tied my record for models built in one year with 4 months yet to go. This id a good kit but BEWARE of the decals, if you don’t like doing complex decals then stay away from this kit, otherwise it’s [...]

Tamiya Mercedes Benz 300SL (clear view edition) 1/24th

I chose this kit because it was the clear view version. I dont know why but i like these kits. I wasn’t particularly liking the car, I just bought it for the clear baddy, I was pleasantly surprised. The Merc 300SL was a trend setting [...]

1990's NYPD Caprice Classic RMP

A replica on my NYPD career Police Cruiser I used in part of my 20+ years as a NYPD Police Officer! At age 68 I am living my life in the past of replica builds! LOL This build is a 3D print of a 80's Impala 4 door car. It's close enough [...]

1972 Chevrolet MOTION Vega GT

Since the stock version of the MPC Chevrolet Vega has long been gone and I won't pay the prices for an original kit, I decided to scratch build one! I was originally going to use a promotional model I found on Ebay real cheap as a donor. [...]

Tamiya 1/24 IMPREZA WRC 98 SAFARI

I assembled a Tamiya Impreza WRC 98 Safari Rally Spec. All of Tamiya's Impreza kits are excellent, and this one is no exception. As the original kit is a good one, only a few details were needed to complete the kit with the use of etching [...]

Tamiya Ferrari 641/2 F190 # 12030 1:12

I did this about 2 years ago, not my best build but I enjoyed it. The tires were a mess all hardened and shrunk up. The seller had no interest in back up his sale and he was in Japan so. Really had no recourse. I found some other tires, [...]

Monogram Kurtis Kraft Racer (Selected Subjects Program)

Another fun build that stretched my detail paint abilities. Standard hardware store rattle can enamels and some patience...
