Tamiya 1/48 A6M2 Zeke

This is my second completion for the Empire of Japan group build. This Tamiya kit isn't too bad for how old it is. Minimal part count makes it a quick build. It does lack detail but makes a good kit for practice. I built it OOB just adding [...]

1/48 Tamiya (Italeri Re-Pop) Hurricane Mk. I

Not a lot to say. As my Mum always said "If you don't have anything nice to say..." But I'd be remiss in failing to mention that a number of parts fit, ahem, not so well. Decals, however were amazingly good- perfectly snuggled [...]

1/48 Scale APACHE AH-64 CHOPPER (Last Part)

A first look at the present depiction of a Bf 08 Taifun will quickly make the expert frown, because neither the identification on the fuselage nor those on the wings seem to make sense or should even be brought into line with a real [...]

Eduard 1/48 early Spitfire I

By the spring of 1940, Spitfires equipped approximately one-third of the squadrons in Fighter Command. Over that summer, the pilots of the Spitfires and their more numerous comrades in the cockpits of Hawker Hurricanes successfully stopped [...]

More of my 1/48 Scale AH-64 Apache Helicopter.

My first photo shows one of my scribing tools which also doubles as a "rivet" maker. I draw lines on the model, then use my ruler to line up all the rivets to be put in, then make pencil marks on the kit plastic. I just push in [...]
