1/48 Tamiya Il-2 Shturmovik
Finished the 1/48 Tamiya Il-2 Shturmovik. It's a great kit - Tamiya's excellent kit engineering makes it very fun to build. I added riveting to the airframe with a rivet wheel, used Eduard's photo etch for the seatbelts, and also [...]
Italeri 1/48 Sioux (Luftwaffe)
A very straightforward build that I treated as a mojo restorer...I sometimes find myself going down a rabbit hole with an excessive amount of detailing (most of which can't been seen anyway) when I'm building some kits which sometimes [...]
Arma Hobby 1/72 Hawker Hurricane Mk.IID

Hasegawa 1/48 P-51D Mustang
In one of my earlier posts I'd mentioned I had build several Accurate Miniatures, Eduard, Airfix, Monogram/Revell, and Tamiya P-51's but not a Hasegawa kit. That is until now and it is a decent kit IMHO. The cockpit is adequate but not [...]
Tamiya 1/48 Heinkel He 219A-7
The Uhu is another gem from Tamiya. An accurate depiction of a complex aircraft that is easy to build. A custom made cockpit tub weight is included to balance the very heavy tail. Hence, there are no build distractions that in turn, [...]
Tamiya Sturmvogel
This is the classic Tamiya Me 262 kit in 1/48. Had started it and a Monogram Schwable way back in 2016. Had wanted to build a plane base at Rheine since I had been TDY at that base when it had F-4F Phantom IIs.
Well hit a few hiccups like [...]
Tamiya Ducati Panigale 1199 1/12th
Those of you who got to know me here on iModeler know me as Bike Queen. Well here is the bike that started it all.
I was building a Monogram Capsule and Command Module kit complete with resin aftermarket parts, and everything went wrong [...]
Airfix 1/48 Fairey Gannet AS.4 – 815 NAS Ark Royal 1958.
What a kit.
It all just fits together.
The wings are still just a dry fit.
I need to give a massive shout out to Airfix and their customer service as they replaced my clear sprue after i'd cracked two of the canopies whilst polishing.
I [...]
Tamiya Mazda MX-5 Roadster 1/24
Since I restarted this childhood hobby of mine, my 9 year old daughter kept asking if she could play with the models I’ve built. That’s why I choose to build this Mazda MX-5 from Tamiya for her. It’s a car I’ve always loved, and a [...]
