Mustang IV. 19 Sqn. RAF. Late 1944.
Being a birthday present, this kit just had to be made carefully & not rushed. Well that certainly was the case here, as it's been on the bench for over twelve months, while I did extensive research. I was put off by the need to do a [...]
Tamiya P-38G Lightning "Miss Virginia"
Tamiya's P-38 is without a doubt the best engineered 1/48 scale model I've ever built. It is simply clever in every respect. I started this model about a year and a half ago and since I started I've completed six other projects. It was [...]

1/48 Tamiya Me262-1a
Aftermarket items include Quinta Studio 3D cockpit decals, Wingz slats, Hussar resin wheels and EagleCals # 138 decals. The Quinta set is fantastic, easy to use, much more so than photo etch. The model represents a 262 that operated with [...]
Tamiya P-47D-11-RE, 1/48. 'The Razorback over Normandy'.
Personally, I'm a razorback fan over the bubbletop, and when I think razorback I can't help but think D-Day stripes which really narrowed down the sort of scheme I wanted to do for the build.
This kit is the Tamiya's offering in 1/48, [...]
Tamiya 1/48 F4F-4 Wildcat
This is the 4th model in my model-building career so my learning curve is still nearly vertical. I could only find one grainy photo of a plane from VF-22 (USS Independence) so this is my interpretation of the plane's paint scheme from [...]
1/72nd Airfix Mosquito Mk. VI and Tamiya 1/48th Mosquito Mk. VI Double build
Juuuuuuuuuuuuuuuust as i was about to start building the Tamiya 1/48th Mosquito Mk.VI, my father popped up with the Airfix 1/72nd Mk.VI. good timing for him, bad timing for me! This double build stuff is harder than it looks when you're [...]

Masked / painted Reich Defense bands.
Opened barrels on cowling MGs.
24g hypodermic needles for wing root cannons.
5-Minute Epoxy wingtip lights.
E-Z [...]
22 - Tamiya 1/24 Castrol Toyota Tom's Supra GT
What a fantastic model to build, so much fun and so very well made. There is no engine but excellent details in the suspension and shocks that it was really fun. Also a beautiful race interior and roll cage.
If you love decals this one is [...]
Tamiya Mercedes C9 Build Blog
I have just started modelling again after a 35 year break. Now 50, I haven't had the smell of acrylic glue up my nose since I was 15.
For my first kit back I've chosen my favourite race car ever, the Mercedes C9 Le Mans silver arrow, in [...]
