This is Tamiya's lovely Raiden in 1/48. Sweet little bird, had a lot of fun weathering it too. Enjoy the pix. 🙂

Hasegawa 1/450 IJN Akagi

by Michael Booth on October 28, 2015 · in Ships · 18 ≡

Well, another kit has been made and this is a good first for me. I started getting into ship building when learning about Imperial Japanese Navy ships during ww2, and have actually got me caught on the hook, learning their names, cannon [...]

Smolensk 1941 diorama

by Steven Bromley on October 28, 2015 · in Diorama · 5 ≡

High fello plastic bashers lol. I picked this mirage diorama kit whilst in America and now I'm home I've begun building it. The kit is made by Mirage hobbies and this case depicts a scene from the battle for Smolensk in 1941 although the [...]

1/72 Hawker Sea Fury FB Mk.11

by Greg Kittinger on October 27, 2015 · in Aviation · 11 ≡

I hadn't posted in a while, so thought I would post up the first "double build" I did - from a few years ago. These were about 5-6 years ago - before I started weathering and post shading, etc. Only real detailing was the exhaust [...]

AgustaWestland Merlin – Airfix 1/48th

by Thomas Probert on October 26, 2015 · in Aviation · 15 ≡

Here's Airfix's 1/48th Merlin, built out of the box with the exception of an Eduard cockpit set. This was tricker than I had anticipated, with the tolerance between parts being very fine and many pieces needed a quick sanding in order to [...]

Airfix 1/72nd scale Dornier Do17Z

by Thomas Probert on October 26, 2015 · in Aviation · 17 ≡

Here is my effort at the new tool Dornier Do17Z from Airfix in 1/72nd scale. It was a completely trouble-free OOB build, finished with Xtracolour enamel paints. An absolute gem of a kit. Tom

German Soldiers at a Field Briefing. I very much enjoyed this little kit of figures from Tamiya. I plan to expand on this Eastern Front Theme by adding a Tiger Tank in winter Whitewash with a Crew in winter camo in back of this field [...]
