This is Tamiya's Honda Accord, which is a "curb-side" model, and comes with a ton of decals for the JACCS racing team car, which ran in the 1996 Japenese Touring car series. I picked mine up as one of our club's "$1.00 [...]

1/25 AMT ERTL Snapfast Plus-Ford GT90

This is how you take a 15 minute snap-tite project, and turn it into week long ordeal. The Ford GT 90 (concept) was a flop ! Considering it's unusal look, it did hve a pop-up "wing" in the rear, which only made it look more so. [...]

1/24 Maisto Nissan 350Z & Motormax Chrysler Crossfire

Ever give thought to dolling up a die-cast or two? I repainted the Nissan 350Z, and eventually put on the BRE Datsun decals, as I always favored that paint job back in the day. The Chrysler Crossfire was supposed to be a sportscar, [...]

Yamaha YZF R1

Hi everyone, this is my Yamaha R1. It's a Tamiya 1:12 kit, and the kit had been sat in my wardrobe still in the box for about ten years! It was originally the Taira racing kit but I haven't really followed the colour scheme. I managed to [...]

1/24 (or 1/25) Revell '53 Corvette Roadster

For those expecting another seaplane, surprise ! This is the Revell '53 Corvetter Roadster, (the instructions do not clearly give the scale) which I've wanted to do since I saw the Panamericana version was an option. This was the [...]
