... My first effort at 1/35 ships, the Trumpeter Z-25 Zerstorer (hmmm... Bf 110s... a floaty destroyer... seems to be a theme developing) ;). Anyway, here it is. Used the excellent Master brass gun barrels, chiseled off the molded anchor [...]

Tamiya, 1:48 scale Heinkel He-219A-7 “Uhu”

by Frederick J Seitz III on March 3, 2013 · in Aviation · 7 ≡

One of my later efforts, Tamiya's 1:48 scale Heinkel He-219. A really nice model and a good build. Good detail inside and out, and most importantly, the fit was excellent so that negated a WHOLE lot of sanding. The cockpit is a unique [...]
