Tamiya 1/32 F16 C ‘Barak’

Hello from sunny South Africa! This is my IDF F16 C Block 40 Barak No 557 of ' The First Fighter' squadron. As it's an IDF Block 40 jet the cockpit is black. I added Aires cockpit and afterburner/ exhaust can and undercarriage bays plus [...]

The British Way...1/48 Sherman Firefly Ic

My dad´s next little armour project for diversion. Tamiya kit built oob, only added an antenna. Painted with AK Real Color British SCC15 Olive Drab. It´s one of Tamiya´s older kits with a metal lower hull. Gives the model nice weight [...]

A classic.....then disaster!

Picked up this gem at Skyway here in Seattle, original 1974 M3 Stuart kit everything in it including the little tube of glue! Everything in Kanji! I had been looking for a good first issue of this kit for a long time. You can find them [...]

Video: Tamiya 1:72 Mitsubishi A6M3a Zero

It's been a long time since I built one of these Tamiya Zero's and that's a huge shame. Arguably one of the best 1:72nd kits ever engineered. Music: Kevin Macleod - (link) -Eastern Thought -Drone in D -Eastminster -Organic [...]

C-124A GLOBEMASTER by RODEN MODELS – PART – 4

Masking and painting was a bit time consuming, but in the end it was worth applying and removing all that tape. None of the Tamiya paints was pulled off by the tape. My first photo shows a printed color side view by Roden which shows the [...]

Mom's 1/48 Academy P-38

This build is a tribute to my late mother and is not representative of any P-38 that actually flew. However, I did steal the nose work idea from Richard Bongs' P-38. Years ago when I started building models again mom asked me if I would [...]

C-97 "ANGEL of DELIVERANCE."

Minicraft made a very nice 1/144th scale "C-97 STRATOFREIGHTER" model, which had next to no flashing on any of the kit parts. It's an O.O.B. model and all I added to it was some small black "b-b's" in the nose, however [...]
