“Wings of the Emperor”…or “The Empire of Japan” another thought for an upcoming Group Build
In addition to the "Korea the Forgotten War" group build that will last during the exact time frame as the war did, (only 70 years later), here's another one I was thinking about.

1/48 Tamiya Spitfire Mk.I (new tool), 19 Sqn Op. Dynamo
The Spitfire is complete! This is the new tool 1/48 Tamiya Spitfire Mk. I. The first completion for 2020, let's hope I can keep up with this pace! Just over four weeks from start to finish. Some oils, exhaust stain and a few water colour [...]
1/48 Scale Lindberg XF-91 Jet/Rocket Experimental Fighter
Lindberg made an excellent starter kit for the "Advanced" modeler like me, so I went full-bore on the project by scratch-building just about everything.
All 3 landing gears were made out of aluminum and styrene. I cut in the [...]
1/48 Scale P-47D Thunderbolt "SWEET MUSIC."

One photo show's the [...]
A 1/25th AMT/ERTL 1961 FORD STARLINER/GALAXIE CAR CONVERSION.
My long life high school friend Edward ask me to build a replica model car and make it look like the real car that he owned. I said yes, because every time I came down to the "GoodGuys" yearly car show in Scottsdale, Arizona I [...]

Finally finished a long overdue birthday present from a friend.
This is Tamiya 1/48 Crusader Mk.III, paints are Gunze, weathering with Tamiya Weathering Master and AK.
1932 Ford Street Rod
I added another car to my model collection and it was built right out-of-the-box. The car was also called a Classic Cruzer by Monogram.
The kit had a "T" shirt decal included so I wondered how to use it. After cutting around all [...]
