Yekîneyên Parastina Gel T-55
The T-55 from Tamiya, out of the box. Much of this text is from my YPG T-72 article (q.v.), and I have taken a similar approach to weathering this kit.

Tamiya 1/48 P-47 Bubbletop in Gabby Gabreski’s markings
Well, usually I like to build things with slightly unusual markings, but this time around was different. My son was interested in building a P-47 with Gabreski's markings, and started in on the Hobby Easy 1/48 kit (which includes those [...]
Yekîneyên Parastina Gel T-72
The T-72 from Tamiya. In the ongoing Syrian civil war, the largely Kurdish west of the country is less of a conflict between the Free Syrian Army and Assad, and more of a conflict between the "Islamic State Of Iraq and the [...]

D-Day Group Build – 1/35 Centaur Mk IV Close Support British Cruiser Tank
Hi folks, here's my D-Day contribution, Tamiya's 1/35 kit of the Centaur. Quoting from the instruction sheet: After the 1942 Dieppe raid, the Royal Marine Division refined the techniques for combined operations such as assault landings [...]
Eduard 1/48 Polikarpov I-16 Type 10
Here is my first contribution to this great new (to me!) site.
It is Eduard's 1/48 scale Polikarpov I-16, Type 10. I used decals from a long OOP Superscale sheet for the code letters/numbers and the 'Betty Boop' on the tail. All other [...]
