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 [...]

1/35 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The M60 series although outdated is still my favorite tank of all time.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 [...]

This one will brighten up your day! Many miles of Tamiya masking tape later and I am not rushing to do another 86th FG P-47 anytime soon...
Ultracast seat and wheels.
Decals are from relatively new decal producer AMDG decals, and they [...]
