Tamiya 1/48 scale Nakajima, Gekko Night Fighter Type 11 Late version
Originally designed as a long range fighter, the Nakajima Irving (as it was know as) was soon outclassed by other fighters. It was relegated to recon duties primarily, until a field design modification proved its worthiness as a night [...]
Dagger!
Monogram's venerable F-102 Delta Dagger. I was able to pick up an original boxing from my local hobby shop and the fit was actually quite good. A few spots were the canopy fit and missile bay door fit if you want them closed. The [...]

Tamiya Israeli Tank Tiran 5 1:35th scale

Well, this one is now complete. Although an older kit from Tamiya it was a good build. With the exception of just a couple of very minor issues.
Starting off was the usual engine build. Seems that almost all of the Tamiya motorcycle [...]

This is the opening of the still sealed box of the 1982 release of the Tamiya Suzuki 1/2 GSX1100S Katana.
