Empire of Japan Group Build – Nakajima Ki-84 Hayate, Tamiya 1/48
The Ki-84 Hayate (Gale) was a Japanese Army single seat fighter designed to replace Nakajima's previous fighter type, the Ki-43. Generally considered to be the best of the Army's fighters, it was powered by a Nakajime Homare 18 cylinder [...]
Tamiya A6M2b type 21
one of my favorite aircraft so it was surprising to me that i had not built a A6M2 Zero-Sen in my favorite scale (1:72 of course).
the kit build was augmented with the following bits.
Eduard P.E. set, brass tubing for the cannon barrels [...]
Dragon 1/72 Mistel 5 He-162/Arado E-377a
Hi There,
This was started at the same time as the Typhoon and has continued a bit longer being worked on whilst doing my Buccaneer.
Three kits in one really. The Trolley and the Arado were little gems that were a joy to build but the [...]
Tamiya F4U-1 Birdcage Corsair 1/48 Scale
When Tamiya came out with their excellent Corsair, I had to jump at the chance to build one. Of coarse this led to another and another, and so on. You know how that is !
Plenty has been said about the kit, over the last few years so I'll [...]
So you want to be a Naval Aviator?

Mustang III by Tamiya in 1/48
Built quite a few years ago. I've always had a liking for Mustangs with a Malcolm hood; this build always bothered me somewhat as the kit only offered a closed canopy. Fast forward to 2020 and a period of 'what shall I do next', it [...]
Tamiya 1/48 Me-109E-3 in Romanian Colors
I found some really interesting decals for a Romanian Me-109E-3 that led to this build. These planes were former Luftwaffe planes that were handed over to the Romanians. They repainted the planes in their own colors and markings. I used [...]
Tamiya Panzer III
I had so much fun doing the Monogram Panzer IV, I decided to do a second armor project and chose the Tamiya Panzer III Ausf. L. This one is out of the box and as every 1/48 Tamiya armor kit I’ve done, it was very enjoyable. Good detail [...]
