What-If Tamiya 1/48th Beaufighter Mk VI with CMK Mk.IIf Conversion Set
This replica was built in accordance with Ministry of Silly Models Permit No. 001-13. Here's the short version of the back story on this Beaufighter that I call "The Manta":
In late 1942, when the Polish nightfighter squadrons [...]
Heller 1/72 Vampire F.3
This project started with me buying the new Airfix Vampire T.11. When starting that build I realised that some synergies could be gained by doing another kit in about the same paint scheme.
Many years ago I got a few plastic-only [...]
Tamiya 1/48th Do-335 Arrow Nachtjager
Inspired by Erich's excellent rendition I thought I would add my own version of this "hypothetical" aircraft. It will have some of you seeing doubles, but I think its cool. I have always enjoyed seeing how two different [...]
Tamiya 1/48th Scale Do 335 Pfeil (Arrow)
This model was done a few years ago as purely a “fun project” and is not meant to be a historically accurate subject, but rather my rendition of what a Do 335 Night fighter from NJG.1 might have looked like. The Dornier Do 335 was an [...]

1/72 Tamiya Ilyushin Il-2 Shturmovik
I recently did an in-box review of this kit for iModeler...here is the finished product.
The kit is engineered very well, as one would expect from Tamiya. Interestingly, I found the plastic to be slightly softer than what I am used to [...]
Wild Deuce (and a half)
In all honesty, I had not planned on doing a diorama. It just sort of happened! I actually planned on doing a well detailed "Deuce and a Half" with one figure standing beside her but things soon got out of hand. 1874 [...]
1/35 DML Sd.Kfz. 184 Schwerer Jagdpanzer "Elefant"
Here is another model I built a few years ago.
This was DML's "Premium" kit - I don't even remember why it was called that. The zimmerit was applied and sculpted from two-part epoxy putty (Tamiya), using a homemade tool I [...]
Tamiya 1/35 scale Walker Bulldog
This tank didn't take long to build at all. I built this one pretty much OOTB. The only thing I changed was the muzzle. I hacked off the original muzzle, and placed the spare on instead. The spare muzzle came from a botched Panther. I plan [...]
Jeepers!
Built this one about ten or so years ago. As always, I started out with the intention of a quick build but the next thing you know, it just got away from me. The trailer is an old Italeri piece that had been sitting in a spares box since [...]
