Supermarine Spitfire Mk I, Tamiya 1/48 scale, BoB Group Build
"Rawjah, Rabbit Leedah...!"
Here is Tamiya's 1/48 Spitfire Mk I. The model represents aircraft DW-O, L1043 of 610 Squadron based at Biggin Hill during the Battle of Britain. I chose this particular scheme for two reasons. One [...]
B.a.t.B Yep, Beauty and the Beast Part 1.
Well here it is, un veiling day.
The story so far.
The good Lady Biggles (Rose) built the Beauty, a Spitfire MK 1 (Tamiya 1/72).
Her third ever build and first solo so to speak.
Well Tamiya speaks for itself, shake the box and it goes [...]
Battle of France / Battle of Britain Group Build – 1/35 Tamiya B1 bis French battle tank
Well, I'm not sure what time/date it is in iModeler land, but where I live it's 11;30 am on 31st October! Here's my contribution to the group build, Tamiya's 1/35 kit of the French battle tank B1 bis. Being a Tamiya kit it was easy to [...]
Tamiya 1/48 P-51D Mustang
This is Tamiya's P-51 and it was a joy to build. The kit came in clean gray molding and the second I got it I sat right down to it. I painted everything to what Tamiya told me to and then I spent three or four days super detailing the [...]

Tamiya Spitfire MkVB Trop 1/48
HI all, here's my latest.
Major Levine's Spitfire VB. Hope you like. Decal sheet said it was a VC, but upon doing research and talking with others, I was happy to see it was in fact a VB. No need for a new VC wing. 😉 It's heavily [...]
A Great New F-16
Just finished Tamiya's recently released 1:72 F-16. It's a nearly flawless kit, but could use some additional underwing stores. Unfortunately I had a painting mishap on the underside. Not too obvious though. This was a great kit!
Nakajima A6M2N "Rufe", Tamiya 1/48 scale
This model starts with a website I had a long time ago that was started as a place to store all the photos I had taken during my barnstorming airplane mechanic days. An email arrived one day from a gentleman in Japan named Kenichi Kimoto, [...]
Komatsu 1/48 Japanese Bulldozer
This is the Tamiya 1/48 Komatsu G40 bulldozer, built a couple of years ago. It's the second 1/48 Tamiya armour kit I've done and I can't say enough about how nice they are. This is stress-free modelling at its best: every piece just slots [...]
