Review: Tamiya 1/24 Ford Mustang GT4 review

1963 Corvette Stingray, 'route 66',1/24 Revell.

And now for something that doesn't shoots, fires at or blows up things. One of the coolest TV shows on in the early 1960's was 'route 66', it had two guys driving across the America[and Canada] in a Corvette, working at odd jobs and [...]

Ford Thunderbird (no, is that a Mustang lol) Tribute

Here's my Thunderbirds Tribute based on a specialty car Ford built. It's based off Revell's 1/24 prepainted 2014 Mustang GT. With a fun build in mind I decided not to do anything that would cause me to cut up the original plastic, only add [...]

Tamiya Brabham Martini BT44B - 1/12

Kit: Tamiya 1/12 Brabham BT-44B - 12018-3500 This is an amazing kit, especially considering it was released 45 years ago. The fit is nearly perfect which is saying something given the complexity of the kit. There are in excess of 300 [...]
