Tamiya, 1:48 scale F4F-4 "Wildcat"
Another kit I finished this weekend...
I'm sure we all have built this model at one time or another, maybe even more than once as in my case. So, I will not go through the kit details, but suffice to say, it's a Tamiya kit, and it builds [...]
1/48 Tamiya AD-4 Skyraider VMA-121 Korean War
I was overjoyed when I found out that some AD-4 Skyraiders received armor plate kits in the Korean War. For me, this meant I could use the Tamiya 1/48 AD-6 kit mostly out of the box...er... what I mean is, I wouldn't have to grind off the [...]
Tamiya 1/48 Bf-109E-3
I started building this to be marked with the kit decals but a photo on the web blew me away.
This is more of a study in interpreting B&W colors than being correct so this is my take right or wrong. I messed up placing the wing [...]
Tamiya 1/48th Mitsubishi A6m2 "Zeke" Type 21 PTO WWII
One of my older builds from the mid 90's. I started building my current stash back in the early 90's. Living in the East Coast I started picking up more kits to bring back with me when I returned home to So California. Not only Tamiya [...]
VW New Beetle (Tamiya 1/24)
I've never tried this kind of the scale modeling - cars in 1/24 scale. And this Beetle is my first attempt in it. I don't know anything about scale model cars, so I've enjoyed something completely new to me. Base color was painted with a [...]
1/48 FW-190F-8
This is the mid '90s Tamiya kit that I'm ashamed to admit has lurked in the bowels of the stash since at least 1996. I've shied away from WW2 German stuff because I've never been very happy with my mottled camo results until recently. I [...]
Another Tamiya 1/48 armor
Much earlier, I posted my first armor build - a Tamiya 1/48 Flakpanzer. I am an aircraft guy, but after building that kit, I became interested in doing a few more from the series. Here is my 2nd armor build - a Tamiya 1/48 Sherman [...]

Yoo-hoo?! No, Uhu.
My newest archiving addition is the 1/48 Tamiya He-219 Uhu. I got this kit pretty cheap from a vendor at a local contest. A couple pieces were broken but, nothing too difficult to fix. I am a modeler after all ?. The kit, as most Tamiya [...]
Tamiya 1/48 Ki-61i Hien
Here is Tamiya's 1/48th Scale Hi-61I Hien finished as "Blue 24", Captain Teruhiko Kobayashi's mount from February to April, 1945. Of the six victories depicted by the kill marks, one is for ramming a B-29. The 244th Flight Group [...]
