Airfix 1/48 P-51D Mustang
Another one of my offerings in the Jerry Grandall Tribute Group here on iModeler as organized by Tom Cleaver. I never realized the amount and variety of decals that are offered by EagleCals. That is until I did a little research and then [...]
Motorcycle GB: Suzuki GSX1100S Katana – Tamiya 1/12
Tonight, I've finally had a bit of time to get some pics taken of my most recent completion, a Suzuki Katana. I've had this kit partially built in my stash for 12-15 years, languishing away only half completed.
At the time I started it, I [...]
My First Natural Metal Finish
This is an Academy 1/48 MiG-21 that I built to do in natural metal finish, my first. I used the technique found in AK’s book FAQ using Tamiya paints primarily along with other things such as pencil lead, both drawn on and powdered. I was [...]
Supermarine Spitfire, Tamiya, 1:48
Hello, I would like to show my latest work. It's famous Supermarine Spitfire Mk.1 from Battle of Britain from 1940 year. I like the shape of this plane. Very elegant and agressive. I think painting of pilot is good positive and camouflage. [...]
1/48 Tamiya M-8
This will be the companion for the jeep I recently posted. I’ve debated about adding more storage and weathering but decided to wait until I create the actual diorama I have planned. Until the figures get painted, the M-8 is done so here [...]
Panzerwaffe workhorse-Pzkw IV "F" model. Tamiya 1/35
There's plenty of info out there on this one, so won't go hunting and pecking too much. Just suffice to say, this one was the load carrier of the Panzer divisions for most of the war. Tamiya just came out with two "F" versions, [...]
1/48 Tamiya Jeep
Another 1/48 gem from Tamiya.
Tamiya 1/20 F1 SF70H
This is, of course, a Ferrari, in fact it was the Scuderia’s 2017 entry in the Formula One World Championship.
Tamiya released this 1/20 scale kit in 2018, and so far, it’s their last F1 kit apart from a couple of re-releases from [...]
'Torch' F4F Wildcat for the Desert Air War GB.
Just over three weeks from opening the box until finish, not after a pat-on-the-head, it's simply that sometimes (often ?), it's just great to build a 'good' kit without the drama, bad language and high parts count.
And I thoroughly [...]
Empire of Japan Group Build – Mitsubishi J2M3 Raiden, Tamiya 1/48
This started out as a Shelf of Doom build for my local model club as a way of jump starting some projects that had languished for too long. My original SOD is still in the box. This model was started by a unnamed modeler who was getting [...]
