Nakajima Type 11, Early production (Irving), Tamiya 1/48

by George Chatzidakis on January 12, 2021 · in Aviation · 13 ≡

Okay, I must admit I had forgotten what Tamiya stands for. Abundance of detail, no flash, perfect fit (I didn't use any glue for the landing gear...). I used Eduard's p.e. set, a value for money set that provides lots of extra details. I [...]

I found myself inspired by the many wonderful aircraft found on iModeler...so I dug this Zero from the stash thinking it would be a relative short build compared to some of my armor projects. I underestimated the "short build" [...]

Kawasaki Ki-61 Hien / Tony, Otaki

by Bob Dudolevitch on January 11, 2021 · in Aviation · 9 ≡

My second post features and old Otaki Ki-61 (from the mid-70s). It's a very basic kit, but it goes together well, and seems accurate in scale and shape. I think there is a lot of life in the 1970s Japanese kits, even though the lack of [...]
