A quick introduction!
Hi everybody!
So this is going to be my first ever attempt at building a model. I was persuaded to buy one the other day by one of your members, Richard Mcstay. He is going to teach me how to build it and even let me use his airbrush! [...]
100 Year RAF Anniversary GB Tamiya 1/48th Bristol Beaufighter Mk.VIf No.68 Sdn
One of the benefits in building these models is discovering and learning more of not only of the subject but of the men and squadrons that flew these often dangerous missions. Doing research at times when searching for particular markings [...]
1/35 Cromwell Mk.IV
This is the Tamiya kit that dates from 1997. It’s also the first armor model that I’ve posted here on imodeler. I actually started it several years ago and ran out of steam to complete for various reasons.

Tamiya Chieftain Mk3
Tamiya Chieftain Mk3. Ok, the box says Mk5, but it's not. The kit is really a Mk3 with a few Mk5 features. I've used the Eduard photo etch set, which does lift this Tamiya kit. Although old, the Tamiya kit should not be written totally off [...]
Kit Review: Tamiya 35346, 1/35 M4A3E8 “Easy Eight” European Theater
