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 [...]

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.

Cockpit modified with some parts of CMK set and a seat from Ultracast .
Painting was done with Gunze Sangyo [...]
