Hasegawa 1/48 F-104C Starfighter USAF
Hello!,
This is my newest project, a cold war icon. It really brings speed to one's mind just to look at her. Nice kit, decals ok, one or two almost were ruined when leaving the film. Another one I did it myself, with some Tamiya extra [...]
MiG Group Build : 1/48 Tamiya MiG-15 bis, Captain Pavel Milauszkin, 176 IAP / 324th IAD, Korea 1952.
This model was built as part one of a project that I have been wanting to do now for a very long time. The recent MiG Group Build was the perfect opportunity.
This is the first half of the project...Please follow along and I'll explain. [...]
An English Rolls Royce Phantom-II car.
The box art says that this model is made by "Italeri" and its' in 1/24th scale. All the parts were 99% free of flashing and sink marks. This car was built almost "o.o.b." just like so many of my other models. I added [...]
MiG GB – 1/48 MiG-19PM.

It looks like I made some hand/foot brackets from my different size's of modeling wire. They were [...]
German Gun Truck
A wonderful kit to build and of course I got some more sandstone slabs to put this model on. Everything went together just fine and it was painted with my Tamiya paints.
Another armor model is on its' way!
Enjoy!

A nice WW-II German Car:
This little car kit went together real nice and I don't think I had any building problems as I followed the direction's.
I applied a desert/like Tamiya color of paint to the model. I clear coated the model with my Future Floor Wax, then [...]
Prince of Wales in 1/350 scale from Tamiya, 2nd... part
Well ... I couldn't keep the weekly updates because I meant too many things. Here is the second part of my slow work. I use Tamiya paints diluted with Tamiya Lacquer Thinner, the colour specification comes directly from the kit [...]
