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 [...]

1/48 Tamiya Spitfire Mk.1b

An early version of Spitfire from the past which is still one of favourite pieces of my Spitfire collection. This is 1/48 Tamiya Spitfire Mk.1b with the markings of No 92 Sqdn. during the summer of 1941. One of the original cannon armed [...]

Tamiya 1/48 Supermarine Spitfire Mk I

My first time posting here so I thought I would share one I built some time ago. This is the Tamiya 1/48 Spitfire Mk I with a Cutting Edge resin cockpit. I added some scratch-built details and finished her with Floquil Military Color [...]

Don't Kick Me Off

Finally got weather good enough to get out in the sunshine to take pictures so I decided to post another shiny thing. 1/24th Tamiya Porsche 911GT1. Completely box stock. Great kit. Awsome decal sheet.
