Tamiya 1:48 U.S. Howitzer Motor Carriage M8

The M8 Howitzer was a self-propelled infantry support gun based on the M5 Light Tank chassis that was used by the US during World War II in both the ETO and PTO. It was also used by France during WWII and after the war was deployed to [...]

End of War...1/48 Messerschmitt Bf109K-4, II/JG52

Dad´s finished another one. New Eduard kit oob. A good kit like their other late 109s but still some mnor corrections to be done. Relocated the lift up holes on the rear fuselage, opened the missing shell ejector opening for the engine [...]

1/48 Eduard A6M2 Type 21 Pearl Harbor Zero

I finished this 1/48 scale Eduard A6M2 Type 21 Zero a few months ago but I am just now getting around to posting it. The plane represents a Zero that was in the second attack wave on Pearl Harbor. All markings including the tail codes [...]

An inexpensive P-38

Not sure how many modelers have built the Hobby Boss easy assembly kit of the Lockheed P-38, but here is my take on it. As far as P-38 kits go, it really is an "easy" kit, but you do have to deal with very long seam lines that [...]

Heinkel He 112B-1, 1/48

This is a kit by LF models and I think it may be their first all plastic kit in 1/48. It is a limited run product of very good quality. Options include cowl panels to do either the in line exhaust or the tubular. The clear parts are very [...]

Arado Ar 68F

Here's my recently completed Roden Ar 68F in 1:48. A very nice kit compared to my Classic Airframes Ar 68E from back in 2010! I added Eduard steel seat belts, individual instrument decals to the panel, replaced the plastic exhaust [...]

Red Tails P-51Ds: Eduard's model conundrum

Eduard's offerings in recent years of 1/48th scale WWII fighters are candidates to be the best models in the scale. I find that the sublime plastic surface texture and the plethora of colorful scheme options are tempting when considering a [...]
