Building The 48th Scale Stearman PT-17…Big Bang For Your Buck
Built in the 1930s, this aircraft became the primary trainer for the military to train pilots for WWII.
This new kit from Revell is a fun build, and is easy on your wallet compared to most new kits today. The Lindberg kit was the only kit [...]
Supermarine Spitfire Mk I, Tamiya 1/48 scale, BoB Group Build
"Rawjah, Rabbit Leedah...!"
Here is Tamiya's 1/48 Spitfire Mk I. The model represents aircraft DW-O, L1043 of 610 Squadron based at Biggin Hill during the Battle of Britain. I chose this particular scheme for two reasons. One [...]
And Now For Something Completely Different
TC does... a tank? Yes. I have been known to do some. This is the Hobby Boss 1/48 M4A3E8 "Easy Eight".
At the outbreak of the Second World War, U.S. Army doctrine did not support tank vs. tank warfare. Enemy tanks were to be [...]
For the Battle of France / Battle of Britain topic. Classic Airframes 1/48
Hi all, for the BoF/BoB.
1/48 CA Boultan Paul Defiant. I loved building this kit. Lots of fun even with the extra workload of a limited run kit. It went together very nicely.
Not many pics sorry. But hope you like anyway.

Kitty Hawk’s Grumman F9F-8T Cougar in 1/48
As soon as I saw the advance notice I put in my order for this magnificent & much neglected model. It seems that most kit manufactures have forgotten about the 1950's & '60's so a Cougar was great news!
It arrived (of course) [...]
Hobby Boss 1/48 Ta-152C-11

Tamiya Spitfire MkVB Trop 1/48
HI all, here's my latest.
Major Levine's Spitfire VB. Hope you like. Decal sheet said it was a VC, but upon doing research and talking with others, I was happy to see it was in fact a VB. No need for a new VC wing. 😉 It's heavily [...]

Nakajima A6M2N "Rufe", Tamiya 1/48 scale
This model starts with a website I had a long time ago that was started as a place to store all the photos I had taken during my barnstorming airplane mechanic days. An email arrived one day from a gentleman in Japan named Kenichi Kimoto, [...]
Komatsu 1/48 Japanese Bulldozer
This is the Tamiya 1/48 Komatsu G40 bulldozer, built a couple of years ago. It's the second 1/48 Tamiya armour kit I've done and I can't say enough about how nice they are. This is stress-free modelling at its best: every piece just slots [...]
