Evading the Grummans- Hasegawa 1/48 C6N1 Saiun "Myrt"

Nakajima's C6N three-man reconnaissance plane was originally intended to serve from Japan's aircraft carrier fleet, but by the time it entered service, there were really no more carriers to fly from. Flying from land-bases, the [...]

The Jack- Hasegawa 1/48 J2M3 Raiden

The Mitsubishi J2M Raiden (Jack) was a radical departure from conventional Japanese fighter design. It's wide, barrel-like fuselage design stemmed from the layout of its Kasei engine, and was used primarily for home defense. As an [...]

Hasegawa's 1/48 N1K2-J shown here is the late-90s re-tool. Previously, the company had released their first 1/48 N1K2-J in the late 70s/early 80s with raised panel lines, about the same time as the 1/48 Kyushu Shinden. This new-tool kit [...]

“Berlin, April 1945″

Here's my small dio/vignette featuring Tamiya's JSU-152. It's intended to depict the Soviets advancing through Berlin in early April 1945, right before the end of the war. The JSU-152 was built OOB. It's a wonderful kit that goes together [...]

Tamiya 1/35 M51 Super Sherman

Here's my Tamiya M51 Super Sherman. The kit was built OOB (out-of-box) with no extras added. This kit goes together very well (it's a Tamiya after all, right?). No fit issues, no putty, just shake the box, add some glue and paint and [...]
