Tamiya 1/16 WWII German Machine Gunner.
These Tamiya 1/16 plastic figures are really well made with good definition and assembly and all at a good price. All my figures up to now have been brush painted with Tamiya acrylics because theyre my paint of choice for the airbrush, but [...]
Charles M. McCorkindale’s P-51B
Tamiya P-51B to do the P-51B "Betty Jane" flown by Charles M. McCorkindale, CO of the 31st Fighter Group in Italy, around June 1944 at the end of the Battle of Ploesti. McCorkindale joined the USAAC in 1936 and flew P-26s with [...]
1/48 Mauve P-40M RNZAF
Finished this kit couple of months ago and don't know why I hadn't posted it. Spent some time looking for a P-40M kit, Mauve is belly up, and the Eduard and Hasegawa versions seem to be out of production right now. Pretty sure both Eduard [...]
With the overwhelming number of votes in favor of P-51Bs….
OK, so three votes out of five. It's a 60% majority!
"Alice-Jo" of the 332nd FG "Red Tails." An ace of the 325th Fg (whose name escapes me at the moment) told me that they were very upset to find out the 322nd was [...]
Now for a P-51B
Personally, I like the P-51B better, mostly for its look.
This Tamiya P-51B was done with Aeromaster decals and the Falcon Malcolm hood to do Don O'Hara's "Shillelagh" of the 353rd FS, 354th FG. As a wingman and element leader [...]
(..yet another) Porsche - 911 GT1
Not too much to say. I bought the kit from a UK seller on eBay - because the box was worn & scuffed, it was a steal even with the postage down here to Middle Earth.
It arrived on a Monday and by the Wednesday I was deep in to the build [...]
Time for another Porsche
This is another Tamiya 1/24 kit, this time the Porsche 934 Turbo RSR. Based on the 930 Turbo road car, the 934 was developed to race in the then Group 4 racing category started in 1976. The 2993cc engine had a maximum output of 485 bhp, [...]
Kitbashed ICM TF-51D Mustang
The TF-51D was created by North American when the venerable Mustang was being given to smaller air forces whose pilots were thought to not be experienced enough to deal with the high-powered F-51D, North American built two prototypes, and [...]
Another Tamiya P-51D
The 353rd Fighter Group hasn't gotten a lot of love from the decal makers. This is Group Commander Glenn Duncan's "Dove of Peace X." Duncan was shot down over Holland in "Dove of Peace IX", a P-47D, in the fall of 1944 [...]
Tamiya 1/48 F-16CJ
Hello iModelers! Here is my Tamiya F-16CJ, OOB. Not much to say except it was a fun and well engineered kit, and I highly recommend it!
