Tamiya scale model kits

Legato 1/72 Curtiss P-40E Warhawk, Tamiya 1/72 Supermarine Spitfire Mk.Vb Trop, Revell 1/72 Hawker Hurricane Mk.IIc.

Just a few desert camo RAF aircraft. All oob builds, the Legato P-40 kit was hard work but turned out ok and has a good shape, the Tamiya kit as usual was a dream and the keenly priced Revell kit fitted together really well, happy enough [...]

1/72 Tamiya P-47D Thunderbolt

Not a completely accurate depiction of Lt. John Godfrey's P-47, changed a couple of little things to suit what I wanted to build, dropped the emblem and made him an ace.(I know he clocked up around 16.33 kills but in Aeromasters Debden [...]

Tamiya 1/35 Scale FLAK 37 Anti-Aircraft Gun

Lately, I've been in a rut when it comes to working on any of my current AC projects so I figured that I would put them away and tackle some subjects that I usually don't model. This FLAK gun model is one of my non- AC projects. I got [...]

1/48 Tamiya Citroen Traction 11CV Staff Car

Wanted to build something fast that didn't cost an arm n leg to test out the dot filter technique I see others using. This is the end result. A basic interior, simple chassis and no engine detail to see but the oil pan. Painted using MM [...]
