Italeri 1/35 M4A1 Sherman.
This is the second armor model I built after returning to the hobby. It is also my first Sherman. Was inspired to build this one after reading "Breakout at Normandy". I found a Testor's boxing of the Italeri kit for $15.00. A [...]
Jeepers!
Built this one about ten or so years ago. As always, I started out with the intention of a quick build but the next thing you know, it just got away from me. The trailer is an old Italeri piece that had been sitting in a spares box since [...]
Italeri 1/35 M-24 Chaffee (Backdated)
Had this kit laying in the stash for quite a while. Saw the movie "Bridge at Remagen" and got inspired to build it. Funny, two months after I built this, Bronco announces it is releasing an early version Chaffee. The Italeri [...]
Tamiya/Italeri/Academy Spitfire XIVc in 1/48th scale
Since I belong to the NTAA Club (never throw anything away), I decided to kitbash a Spitfire XIVc a couple of years ago. There are bits of around 5 or 6 different kits in this model which amazingly all fitted pretty well. The nose is a cut [...]
British Panavia tornado GR-MK 1
MODEL: For this purpose this week will be the Italeri boxing of the British Panavia Tornado GR-M1,
AKA, model IDS, and boxed under the AMT label as well. Not the best kit of this Air plane but doable with a little help. Complaints from [...]
Guadalcanal Marine 75mm Pack Howitzer, @ October 1942
The Howitzer is the excellent Vision Models injected kit, the figures are conversions of Dragon Guadalcanal Marines, with some Tamiya mortar crew parts. The sandbags are from Italeri, with epoxy putty blending. Painting is with acrylics, [...]
1/24 Italeri 1933 Cadillac Towncar
Had it not been part of General Motors, Cadillac might have perished in the Depression, a time when few could afford -- or wanted to be seen in -- big, expensive automobiles no matter how superb.
Unlike independent Packard, which was [...]
Italeri 1/72 RCN H04S-3
No real reason why I built this kit. I build very few whirly-birds, but this one just appealed to me. It is kinda cute. All of the high-vis is Testors Flourescent Red, out of the little square bottle we all know and love. Other than [...]
Two Tanks
Here are a few pics of my only armor models. One is the Tamiya Panther Pzkpfw. V Ausf. A and the other is the Italeri M24 Chaffee light tank. Both are 1/35 scale. These are the only two I've built so far and I think they are easier [...]
Italeri 1/48 Macchi C.200 Saetta
Italeri's 1/48 Macchi 200 Saetta (serie VII) is a welcome release. Previously, there was the old Artiplast (later SMER) kit in 1/50, and Czech short-run derivatives such as Pacific Coast Models (which is also good, but resin and PE [...]
