Bike Fest - Ducati Desmosedici
I thought I had better join in the current mini motorbike fest here on iModeler, so, here's the Tamiya 1/12 Ducati Desmosedici Moto GP machine from the 2003 season. Yes, I'm sorry, it's yet another red Ducati, but can you really have too [...]

This is Tamiya's rendition in quarter scale of arguably the most elegant and equally deadly night fighter to emerge from World War II. Personally, I would be hard pressed to make a choice between the Uhu and the P-61 Black Widow.

Sky Pilot Sea King approximately 1/40 scale? closer to 1/35. [...]

I heard you wanted to see more car stuff. I am experimenting with Tamiya TS17 Gloss
Aluminium, TS Candy Lime Green, and Testors 1113 Dark Metallic Green on a very inexpensive Lindberg Chevy. This is really a (how much Future floor wax [...]

Dornier produced 10 Do-335A-O's for evaluation as single-seat fighters. This is Tamiya's AWESOME 1/48 scale rendition of Dornier's radical twin-engine Pfeil (Arrow). My model depicts the 7th of the 10 single-seat fighter versions built and [...]

This is Academy's 1/48 scale rendition of the ultimate Propcat, the F8F-1B Bearcat. Designed as a shipborne air superiority fighter for the US Navy, with a design emphasis on speed and manoeuvrability, the Bearcat proved to be everything [...]
