Tamiya 1/48 P-51D "Louisiana Heatwave"

Tamiya kit Eduard PE detail set Aeromaster decals I've wanted to do this scheme for two years now ever since I saw this decal sheet online. I lived in Louisiana for 6 years, got married there and my two girls were born there so this had a [...]

Tamiya 1/48 F-35A IDF "Adir"

Tamiya's F-35A is a complex and delightful build. Engineering is good like you may expect from Tamiya. The fit of parts is tight and you may need to exert pressure on some joints to avoid the application of putty. The model was purchased [...]

Airfix 1/48 Spitfire Vb

RAF No.92 (formerly known as “East India”) is a Test and Evaluation Squadron based at RAF Waddington, Lincolnshire. It was formed as part of the Royal Flying Corps at London Colney as a fighter unit on 1 September 1917 and deployed to [...]

RNLAF Noorduyn AT-16 Harvard IIB

Hi all, This time not an RNLAF fighter, but an aircraft that was mainly used for training purposes. However, this particular aircraft which flew with 306 Sqn at Deelen AFB was used for photo reconnaissance tasks from the late 50’s until [...]

1/72 Bf 110D Zerstorer – Fujimi No.7A-17

ICM 1/32 Fiat CR.42AS

The latest off the slab, an ICM 1/32 Fiat CR.42AS built pretty much oob with a few tweaks to cockpit and air filter. Painted with Tamiya XF's and weathered with pastels. A quick, easy build and one that I can thoroughly recommend!

Rhodesian Hawker Hunter

Found this stalled project from 20+ years ago. As I'm taking care of my parents at the moment I decided to strip and repaint it. I'd obviously had difficulties with this one when I first made it. The problem was around the wing roots and [...]

1/72 Messerschmitt Bf109G-6

This little Airfix kit was a Christmas present, and the camouflage intrigued me enough to finish it, even though the kit is not a notable one. But it was well worth it for the lessons it taught me in the mottling effects I can do with an [...]

L-59 ALBATROS

Hello guys, I present to you the last work. A very good trumpeter model.The worst is an injection mark on the glass, which has been necessary to polish. Another bad thing that I have found, as in other trumpeters, has been the [...]

Tamiya 1/48 Corsair

The Tamiya F4U-1D out of the box, which is precisely what I needed after the long slog through the Trumpeter Su-25. It's perfect. Follow the directions and use the time to hone your painting skills. Tom Cleaver's "Corsair 101" [...]
