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.

First completion of the year: Tamiya’s 109 G-6
Salute, gentlemen! And a great new year to all of you!
I just finished Tamiya’s 1/48 109 G-6, and what a great kit it is. I would guess no other manufacturer could pull off such “gimmicks” as the interchangeable exposed engine/closed [...]
F-16 fighter
I took no "in progress" photos, but you all know how to build models!
My first photo show's the model with the decal instruction sheet which was easy to follow.
All I had to do was use my Tamiya X-2 Gloss White paint, then apply [...]
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."

It's an O.O.B. model and all I added to it was some small black "b-b's" in the nose, however [...]
Tamiya 1/48th Scale F4U-D Corsair build in process
Well I guess a lot of us are building Corsairs so I guess I will share my progress on the kit I am building.
This Tamiya 1/48 scale kit is pretty fun so far. I am adding in lots of details as I go. I will do the folded wing version to make [...]
Soccer War...1/48 Goodyear FG-1D Corsario Fuerza Aerea Salvadorena vs. Vought F4U-5N Corsario Fuerza Aerea Hondurena
So, here are the last two refreshed latinas from 2016.
FAS Corsair: Tamiya kit with Aztec decals, Tamiya and Gunze paints, EZ Line for brake lines, plastic rod for antenna. According to fellow Hyperscaler/Britmodeller Marco, the wheel [...]
My FIST LOCKHEED SUPER CONSETALLATION.
Revell made a very nice 1/144th scale kit of this big 4 engine airplane so I bought two different kits. One kit was made to represent an "USAF-MATS" plane while the other kit represented a commercial airline, namely [...]
TAMIYA 1:48 F4U-1a Corsair
Hello everyone, after observing the models on this site for a while, I found the courage to publish this creation that was commissioned to me and for which I confess that I "stole" ideas from this site too . The subject is among [...]
