IJN Destroyer Yukikaze 1945, Tamiya 1/350
Today I would like to upload the IJN destroyer Yukikaze. This is my first 1/350 trial. I used the Tamiya kit as a base and Infini model detail up parts. IJN Yukikaze is famous as a ship that survived the fierce battles of the Pacific War, [...]
1/48 Tamiya FW-190
I got this as a gift a few months back. I don't normally do German aircraft as I am scared off by the complex camo schemes but I decided to give it a go.
This was enjoyable because I was just focused on a nice result not super realism- I [...]
Model Competition Results and Update
Last week, I competed at the commies fest competition with a few familiar old models as well as several new additions to the collection featuring various Warhammer 40K miniatures (some not so mini) including a group of Imperial Knights [...]
Hobby Boss, 1:48 Scale, Grumman F8F-1, "Bearcat"
Calling this one FINI!
Nice little kit which I built completely OOB. I've always liked Leroy Grumman's 'Hot Rod' as it was called in Grumman Corp. Circles.
The kit as it comes OOB, is actually a -1b. I wanted to build a real early [...]
Rufe weathering patterns: Tamiya 1/48 A6M2-N
Weathering patterns on Japanese aircraft during operational service occurred as a result of the harsh conditions in the Pacific. However, due to the scarcity of documentations and photographs, the extent and type of weathering is left much [...]

Primed with Mr. Finishing Surfacer 1500 Black.
Painted [...]
Tamiya 1:48 Vought F4U-1A Corsair Kit #61070 1998 (new parts added)
This is one of Tamiya's finest kits in my opinion, nary a problem during the build.Looking for something different to do to a corsair, I stumbled upon the "colourized" photo shown. I can't vouch for the accuracy but it started my [...]
Tamiya 1/35 Universal Carrier Mk2. or more commonly know as a "Bren Gun Carrier "
I am mainly into WW1 aircraft but saw this kit and had to buy and build it, let me explain.
When I was a young boy growing up on the farm we had a neighbour who always drove his tractor standing up on the footplates. Being inquisitive [...]
Tamiya 1/48 P-51B Mustang
Hot off the bench is the classic Tamiya P-51B that still represents a very nice model. However, I am looking forward to seeing Eduard's' new P-51B release so as to make a comparison between the two. Typical Tamiya, parts fit and the only [...]
Revell 1/72 Hawker Hunter P1109A – with FreightDog Conversion.
The Revell FGA.9 goes together really well and with the lovely conversion kit from FreightDog Models this builds up very nicely
Only a modicum of filler was required with only one bit of actual surgery.
This enables a completely ham-fisted [...]
