Tamiya P-47D Thunderbolt, 1/48

by Enrique Lopez Galindo on November 23, 2021 · in Aviation · 23 ≡

This model from Tamiya is great. Has a lot of parts and decals to build two versions. I bought an Eduard PE to give more detail to the cockpit, landing gear, fuel tank and motor. The paint took me some time. I had to put a black primer and [...]

Hasegawa 1/48 J2M3 Raiden

by Woody Kubacki on November 22, 2021 · in Aviation · 8 ≡

This was probably my longest build so far. I started in April with the crazy idea of building all 3 of Hasegawa's 1/48 Raiden (J2M3, J2M5, J2M6) at the same time, but that got whittled down to just the J2M3 (the other 2 are waiting on [...]
