Another Tamiya 1:32 Corsair

Just so you all know I’m not sandbagging a shelf full of models to post on the site. I really just discovered iModeler in the last week so I’m playing catch up and really enjoy hearing all your feedback. My bride gave me an airbrush [...]

Research help...Light Blue scheme Ar 196raider in French markings

If you've read any of my comments about unusual aircraft or schemes, you know I'm a big fan of modeling stuff out of the mainstream. I was recently intrigued by a conversation I had with a gent in my club, who described an Ar 196 used on [...]

I built this a couple of years ago and hesitated to post it because of that very reason. However, it was one of my favorite builds, so I thought I would share it with you guys. I hope I’m not violating some rule by posting a past [...]

Tamiya Salamander

Made this little gem of a kit around 2 years ago, and still love to see it on my shelf, smaller than most other 1/48 but unique nonetheless. A mix of old war shades (81/82/84 on the fuselage) and early war shades (71 over 65 in the [...]
