1/48 Otaki Bf-109G-6
Before Eduard, Hasegawa,Fujimi and Tamiya began releasing their great kits of the Bf-109G-6, there was Otaki. Recessed panel lines and rivets, enclosed wheel wells and, while not accurate, cockpits.
Here’s a couple I have built long [...]
Otaki 1/48th scale Bf-109G-6
Hello fellow modellers!
It has been a long time since my last article, too long. Seeing this box art always evokes memories of me as a young (12 years old) and impressionable lad, circa 1976, in my now long-gone local hobby shop wanting [...]

Jim Sullivan GB: 1/48 Otaki F6F-3 Hellcat
Jim Sullivan’s “F6F Hellcat in Action” Squadron book features a Don Greer profile of Hellcat F6F-3 “white 13” of VF-16 that flew from the USS Lexington CV-16 in December of 1943. I chose to model this particular aircraft for the [...]
Otaki 1/48 Nakajima Ki-84 Hayate "Frank"
Another old build that I decided to do a little work to. This was originally finished as a factory fresh build since the markings are from the second prototype of the Ki-84. This is an Otaki kit that was first released in 1973. Not too [...]
1/48 Otaki Ki-44 Shoki
Here is my straight out of the box 1/48 Otaki Ki-44, kit decals and all. Working my way up to the nicer Hasegawa and Tamiya kits I have in my stash. Hope you enjoy and thank you for letting me share!
Otaki 1/48 Spitfire Mk. IX (converted from a Mk. VIII)
Another of my old builds from 1989. Made to represent an ace who once lived about 15 miles from where I live. Frank Hill became a flight commander [308FS] and in May-42 went to England where the 31st Fighter Group was flying Spitfires. [...]
Otaki 1/48 P-47D Thunderbolt
This is my Otaki 1/48 P-47D Thunderbolt that I built in 1986. This is a bit of a kit bash using Monogram's P-47D cowling and engine and Hawk's P-47D Curtiss Electric Propeller. Some details were added into the cockpit area, fuel pressure [...]
Otaki 1/48 P-40E
Here's my Otaki P-40E in 1/48 scale. I build this in 1988 and it was my second time building this kit. My first time was in 1979. For this build I took my time to correct many issues that existed, worked on the spinner's shape, carburetor [...]
