Tamiya 1:48, Mitsubishi Isshirikko type 11 G4M1 “Betty”
This one I've build a couple of years ago. Tamiya did a very great job on this one! It was a nice plane to build. Bought the Eduard mask for the canopy, blisters and tailgun parts but it was a PITA. They were thick and peeled of after [...]
Tamiya 1/48 F-84G Thunderbirds
I built this straight from the box except I used Airway Graphix decals. This kit is in the markings of USAF Thunderbirds S/N 51-16720 Thunderbird 3 Right Wing piloted by Capt C.A. "Buck" Patillo. (1953–1954). Was a great [...]
Tamiya 1/12 Ferrari 312b
This is the last of my car posts until I get pics of my Batmobile. This is another highly detailed Tamiya 1/12 formula 1 kit built straight from the box. I believe this one is also piloted by Mario Andretti. These kits are not for the [...]
Tamiya 1/12 Lotus MkIII John Player Special
Still going with the automotive kits for a bit..This is Tamiya's 1/12 Lotus MkIII driven by Mario Andretti in I believe 1974..this kit is built straight from the box. These kits are fantastic but very expensive now.. I think I only paid [...]

1/35 Tamiya M10 Tank Destroyer
I had alot of fun with this one! The reddish mud is a little stark, but I always liked the sharp contrast. I tried a lttle color modulation on this one, It turned out okay. All you plane guys hatin' me yet?
Revell 1:32, Kawanishi N1K1-j Shiden “George”
Hello,
This is the very old Revell N1K1 Shiden, I believe it's produced in the late 70's.
Build the plane about a year ago, OOB adding only some seatbelts made of Evergreen and breaklines.
Everything is painted with Tamiya acrylics, only [...]
Trumpeter Sukhoi su-25 / czech
I'm a very sloooow modeller, so it took me a year (exactly) to complete this big bird. I really enjoy 32 scale models, but where the heck does one place them when they are done?
Anyways, the model was a joy to build. I've added an Aires [...]
Tamiya/Italeri/Academy Spitfire XIVc in 1/48th scale
Since I belong to the NTAA Club (never throw anything away), I decided to kitbash a Spitfire XIVc a couple of years ago. There are bits of around 5 or 6 different kits in this model which amazingly all fitted pretty well. The nose is a cut [...]
