VF-84 F4U-1D Corsair
A little throwback today. Since I haven't finished anything in awhile I thought I'd dig into the archives. I posted a few of these pics on other sites here and there but never here. 1/48 Tamiya F4U-1D Corsair finished around 1999/2000. [...]

Tamiya Stug IV
The Tamiya armor kits are great week long builds. The rubber band tracks are acceptable and a nice break from the link and length tracks that can sometimes take hours to assemble. This kit is my first attempt at making may own tarps and [...]

Another Shelf Queen done. Out of the box, no construction problems, colors are Gunze and Humbrol, decals are a mix from the kit and the spare box.
A 3-footer really, but I'm happy it's done.
Mikro-Mir 1/72 De Havilland DH108 Swallow
A fun little kit,
It needs a little care and attention as it's short run and there's a bit of flash and some of the locating holes are a tad small for the parts.
Primed with Tamiya Neutral Grey
Painted with Tamiya Nato Black, Flat [...]
Tamiya 1/48 Tiger 1
If you’re familiar with my previous articles, you'll know about my affinity for Tamiya 1/48th scale military model kits. Despite their low parts counts they have just about all the detail of 1/35 scale armor kits. There are no flash or [...]
