1/32 Tamiya A6M2 Zero: Build Part: 2 Painting Phase
This is the 2nd article regarding my build of the Tamiya 1/32 Zero. The 1st article covered aspects of the basic kit, along with photo's illustrating my progress on the highly detailed cockpit assembly with fuselage halves. Since then I [...]
F4U-1 Corsair
Another Tamiya kit at 1/48 scale (all my aircraft models are at the same scale...) It belongs to US Navy VF-17 Jolly Rogers at Pacific Theatre of Operations in 1944.
Battle of The Kasserine Pass: Tamiya Dewoitine D-520 Aeronavale
It's early morning on a cool November day in 1942. The Allies have commenced "Operation Torch" with the invasion of N. Africa. 4 Dewoitine D.520's of Escadrille 2AC lift off from the Axis base of Port-Lyautey, mission to [...]
1/32 Tamiya A6M2 Zero: Current WIP
I recently started a consignment build for a friend of mine who wants 1/32 models of Pacific Campaign fighter planes. He has already taken delivery of the 1/32 Trumpeter P-40B in AVG colors, and the 1/32 Tamiya F4U-1A Corsair in VMF-214 [...]

1/32nd FG-1A Corsair
I suspect most any modeler who has been at it for a while decides to take on a challenge to do something a bit off the beaten track. I've always been attracted to the F4U Corsair and have lost track of how many of them I've built over the [...]
1/35 Tamiya M60A1 USMC MBT with Reactive Armor: Desert Warrior
The M60 series although outdated is still my favorite tank of all time. I think it just looks like a MBT and to me represents an outstanding war machine of the cold-war era. It has that heavy, rough, and tough look that represents USMC [...]
Tamiya Type 74 1/35
I've always liked the Type 74. Part of the reason was that this tank was similar to the Swedish S tanks that could alter the hull’s angle and height with its hydroneumatic suspension. The kit went together well. The only issue I had [...]
