P-40E Aleutian Tiger
I built this a while ago but thought it would be good for my first iModeler post.
This aircraft is from the 343rd FG, 11th FS in the Aleutians 1942. I thought this was different in that there were no blue surrounds on the national [...]
Porsche 936 turbo
Tamiya 1/24
It's an old kit from Tamiya but the only for this car...
The 936 turbo win LeMans in 1977 with Jacky Ickx, Hurley Haywood and Jürgen Barth.
1/48 Revell PT-17 Stearman
Here's the iModeler Review kit from a few weeks ago... 🙂
A fun little kit that goes together very well. No putty needed, this is perhaps Revell's best-fitting kit. The kit's rigging diagram was helpful, but could've been a little [...]
Me I'm going with this one!

Mitsubishi A6M5 – Japanese Surrender Markings, 1945
Coincidental to Dmitry's earlier posting of his 1/72 Airfix Zeke, here is Tamiya's 1/32 A6M5 in surrender markings, completed this weekend. I bought the kit second-hand a year ago, sprues still bagged as new, and with two Eduard [...]
1/72 Tamiya A6M3 Hamp.
I have just completed this today. This is my 1/72 Tamiya A6M3 Hamp. A very nice kit in 1/72 one of the best I have built to date. As you can see I wanted to paint it in the same markings as the 1/48th one that I built years ago. Painted [...]
