Hasegawa, 1:48 Scale P-40, “Kittyhawk III” (Longtail ‘K’), RNZAF

I think Hasegawa's line of P-40 kits are pretty much, the best of the type in this scale. They are loaded with fine detail and the fit is pretty good throughout, suffice to say, they are kits that have been very well engineered. They have [...]

Let’s try this again…

I have a thing for the Panther G, those who followed my now "paused" build of the RFM Panther will understand this. I still plan on tackling that beast again after I figure out how to deal with some of the kits problems, the [...]

1/35 Demag 10 with Pak 38

This is an older project but thought I would share due to I haven't posted in a long time. The kit is Italeri. The tracks were a bit of a pain but over all a pretty good kit. As with all kits I tried to use a dry brush and streak on [...]

Creepy crawlies......

I won't be doing a blow by blow, but here is just what the Dr ordered after a long detailed build like the Tomcat I just finished. A good old Monogram Tom Daniel kit...More to come later!

Sorry for my absence.

Hi good folks, I am back from the darkness of not being able to get on to this site. Long story but I hope to take part in this great platform. Once I have sorted out this new computer that is. The old one would not allow me to get on some [...]

Happy wife, happy life

I know this is probably not the forum for DIY arts and crafts, but none the less I would like to share this model I built for my wife’s birthday. I wanted to build her something, but as she has no interest in tanks or aircraft, I had to [...]

Victory!

Well here she is, Victory 201 COs bird, VF-84, USS Theodore Roosevelt 1989 Maiden Voyage cruise. This is a wonderful kit, but I would say it is not one of Tamiya's shake-n-bake kits. Like their 1/32 P-51, you really need to pay attention [...]
