Douglas F4D-1 Skyray – Tamiya 1/48
I'd like to share my most recent completed build, which is another US jet from the 1950s. As you know from the heading, this is the Tamiya F4D-1 Skyray, also affectionately nicknamed the "Ford", a play on the F-four-D moniker. [...]
Tamiya P-51D Mustang, 1/48. 'The Red Tails'.
A Mustang was an aircraft missing from my collection until a few months ago. I decided to go with Tamiya's rendition of the Mustang over Eduard's more detailed version as at the time I fancied a quick and simple build to get the creative [...]
Tamiya A6M2b
My latest finished kit is this 1/72 A6M2b. It’s another wonder kit from Tamiya. I used Mr. Color Japanese Grey/Green for the overall color. I added white to the grey/green and while painting the effect was much more subtle looking while [...]

Tamiya 1/48 Spitfire Mk.Vb, Royal Hellenic Air Force
Hi everyone!
This is my Tamiya 1/48 Spitfire Mk.Vb, finished as a Royal Hellenic Air Force bird.
Extensively used not only by the RAF, but also by other Allied countries before, during, and after World War II and produced in greater [...]
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 [...]
