Cold War gone hot Tamiya 1/35 Schutzenpanzer Marder
Here's another vehicle for my Cold War gone hot series. This is the 1/35th Tamiya Marder. Sadly, this old kit is the only early version Marder available, all the others being post 1985. The kit will be depicted rushing past the M48A2GA2 as [...]

Tamiya P-38F MTO, USAAF 1/48th Tunisia 1943
To say that the Tamiya P-38 was a joy to build is an understatement. Having built the Academy and Hasegawa Lightning's which are good models of the P-38, just that Tamiya had really taken a rather complicated twin boom air frame and made [...]

VF-82 Iron Men F3H Demon
This is the Hobbyboss 1/48 kit that I started back in 2015 as a model for a YMCA buddy, Ken Sommerfeld, who flew them, and this exact bird. Ken tragically passed away before I finished and I shelved the kit until a couple of months ago. [...]
