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 [...]

P-47D Thunderbolt Razorback
The aircraft itself doesn't need to be introduced in very detail. Big radial engine, 8 guns, superb speed and thoughness, this is the real workhorse designed to deal with heavy damage and spread a panic inside the enemy's formation... [...]
Relics from Mom's House...ancient armor artifacts....
The 70's just don't seem that long ago...gad I've been doing this awhile. I left my parent's bosom at age 27 in 1982, but plenty of bits of me remain behind in the basement, among them these plastic beasties. At the time these were state [...]
Tamiya 1/72 FW 190
I very much enjoy building Tamiya kits. Their ease of construction allows me to get to the part of modeling I enjoy most: painting and weathering. In this case I share my build of Tamiya’s 1/72 Focke Wulf Fw-190 A3.
The kit went [...]
Tamiya's 1/48th F4U-1A Corsair
Representing Lt Cdr John T Blackburn's F4U-1A "Big Hog" as flown from Ondonga in November 1943 with VF-17.
The kit goes together beautifully, straight out of the box, as you'd expect from Tamiya.
I've built three so far with [...]
