Tamiya scale model kits

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 [...]

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

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 [...]

Academy XB-70 VALKYRIE JET AIRPLANE

I finished building this model in March of 2012, then I took it to the next model meeting. One question came up and some guys wanted to know why I painted it "Pink?" I replied by saying: "I found a photo of the real jet on [...]

Tamiya 1/20 scale 1997 Ferrari F110B Schumacher

This little race car is a great little model and a wonderful kit. I got to take this actual (real) car up the hill at Goodwood last year and as a tribute I wanted to build a model of it! It was great having the actual car available to me [...]

Monogram Apollo 11 vintage kit build

This Apollo 11 build was a commission build for AirBus in France and quite the challenge! I used a vintage Monogram 1/48th scale kit from 1970 and it is not very good. I basically scratch built everything using the included parts as a [...]
