Say again Eagle... you guys crashed into what?
Inspired by one of my favourite Sci-Fi films of all time, the classic 2001 Space Odyssey by Stanley Kubric and based upon the book by Arthur C Clarke. In the Film/book the black obelisk is essentially a probe from a super advanced alien [...]
Tamiya 1/48 Swordfish Mk.II
My choice of Tamiya's best 1/48th ever produced.
PE set was used as a guide to fashion a new wire set. I found that both flat and round profile bracing wires were used in production aircraft.
Slats were cut and extended like seen on parked [...]

Partially out of the box, just rivetted, wired the engine and brake lines, added the feed lines on the belly tank, a standby gunsight, and an [...]
Tamiya 1/48 A6M5/5a Zero
Two of Tamiya's newer tooling A6M5 that I built. The kit is more detailed the initial tooling and still is easy to build. Unfortunately, this is the only new tool variant. Eduard then, would be the natural choice to cover highly detailed [...]

I recently got back into a childhood hobby of making model aircraft, and hopefully my adult approach is much better [...]
