Repairing the Hornet
I started this 1/700 Tamiya 1/700 U.S.S. Hornet (CV-8) in the spring of 1992 after finishing law school, and finished it the following March, complete with build info sheet. The Hornet was depicted as she appeared at the time of the [...]
Richard Bong P 38
This is a famous plane and a well known model kit- Tamiya’s 1/48 late model P 38. I built this for a friend and mailed it to him yesterday. I hope I did it justice.
Kit goes together very well except for the fit of the three piece [...]
“Silent Sentinel”: M10 Tank Destroyer
Hi All,
This vignette, “Silent Sentinel”, my tribute to the 80th anniversary of the Battle of the Bulge, portrays a U.S., M10 Tank Destroyer, somewhere deep in the Ardennes Forest, silently waiting to halt the oncoming German [...]
Tamiya 1/48 Swordfish Mk.I
Folded winged Swordfish is an added construction challenge. Wings dropped from the tail support in the midst of the photography session to show the delicacy of the configuration.
1/48 P-47D-22 (Tamiya) 56th Fighter Group.
My recently completed 1/48 Tamiya P-47D-22 in the markings of Button Nose/Stalag Luft III from the USAAF 56th Fighter Group.
Miniart 1/48 P-47D Bubbletop: And how it compares with Tamiya's
Miniart's P 47D is a very good kit. It is highly detailed and has a complete textured riveting array that represents the real deal. However, parts are very delicate and the plastic is soft. This results in an added building effort in [...]
Tamiya 1/48 Do 335A-12 Pfeil
Tamiya's twin seater Pfeil is even more impressive than the single seat. On the basis of photographs of captured aircraft, I removed the doors of the main undercarriages for added model dynamics.
Toyota GR Supra, Tamiya 1/24
This wonderful kit was given to me by my daughter as a birthday present. I do know that she really likes this car a lot, so maybe it is a hint to eventually buy her a 1:1. She definitely convinced me with this kit that the looks of this [...]
Kawasaki Z1300 Engine, Tamiya 1/6th
I have had my eye in theirs kit for awhile now, price was right so I grabbed it. Was fairly simple but that may have been because I had built 2 of them for the 1/6th bikes one of which was the weathered touring bike
It was a fun kit but [...]
1:48 Scale, Tamiya, P-47D-6-Re, "Thunderbolt"
Happy New Year, iModelers!
Hoping everyone survived the new year as painlessly as possible. I'm calling this one as DONE, and my first for 2025.
I was originally going to build this kit as an OOB project. Once I decided on which [...]
