Turning around Tamiya's 1/48 Seiran

The Aichi M6A1 Seiran is among prime Japanese aviation innovation projects during WWII. Created to be stored at and operated from specially designed submarines. Up to three of these float-equipped aircraft were able to take off from the [...]

Hasegawa, 1:32 scale, Curtiss P-40K-1-Cu, "Warhawk"

Calling this, DONE! 1st LT Robert Johnson 'Jay' Overcash, 64th FS/57th FG, based at Hadi Main AB, Tunisia, May 1943. A little quirky with all the silly plugs and adapters to fit in it, but a really good model and was a bit of fun to build. [...]

1/72 Tamiya Republic P-47D Thunderbolt

For my third article on iModeler I'll show my latest model, a Tamiya Republic P-47D Thunderbolt "razorback" in 1/72 scale which was finished on April of this year. It's my second "razorback" kit, the first one was an [...]

There's no evidence it was aliens Mulder!

I recently started rewatching the X-files for the first time in years and it struck me that (at least for the first series), whenever that weeks particular weirdness was going down, agent Scully was always looking the other way. This is a [...]

Every airplane model airplane I’ve worked on since reigniting my modeling hobby has been of World War II vintage powered by piston engine and propellor. This latest kit is my first foray into a more modern jet age, though the subject at [...]

Tamiya 1:48 Spitfire Mk.Vb Kit #61035

Tamiya kit...say no more. I've been waiting a long time to do a model of an aircraft that participated in "Operation Starkey". (link) I was originally going to buy decals for a clipped wing Mk.Vb, L⦾SH s/n W3320 as seen by [...]

Tamiya 1/32 Spitfire IXc

Tamiya's 1/32 Spitfire (together with their P-51D and F4U) are probably the best aircraft kits ever produced in the scale. The detailing and surface texture are amazing. Engine components details are also impressive although one has to add [...]

Ebbro 1/20 Tyrrell 002Silverstone 1971

This one has been built for my boss, who is a major petrol-head. He asked if I could build him a Cevert Tyrrell and as this was lying about I said I would. He just wanted it built out of the box so that was done with the addition of some [...]
