Oldie but Goldie: Tamiya 1/350 Bismarck
Here are some photos of my first ship built after >30 years: the classical Tamiya Bismarck. The only upgrades added to the kit were the decking and some generic DKM railing. Other departures from the kit were home made [...]
Got one more in at the last minute!
So I got TWO done this year. Tamiya 1/48 F-14A. Victory 210 USS Nimitz 1986-87. One of the fist Tomcats I ever saw. I didn't want to build AJ 200 as everyone builds that one, so I got my Cruise book out and found one that I had decals [...]
Airfix 1/72 Messerschmitt Bf-109E3
My final completion for 2021.
Always fancied doing a Swiss one of these.
Pretty much OOB apart from the Decals and shaving some lumps and bumps off.
The armament isn't right but it's 1/72 I can't see it from a foot away.
Primed with Tamiya [...]
Airfix 1/72 McDonnell Douglas Phantom FG.1 – Black Mike
A nostalgia build for me as it took me back to my time in Leuchars Signal Box watching the comings and goings from the base.
Primed with Tamiya Nato Black and Neutral Grey.
Painted with ColourCoats Night Bomber Black, Oxford Blue, Insignia [...]
Tamiya Tony
My last completed kit of 2021, here’s my 1/72 Tamiya Ki-61 Hien. This was another fantastic kit from Tamiya. I used the camo decals which worked pretty well. I do wish Tamiya provided an open canopy option since there’s pretty good [...]
V-1 Buzz Bomb Prepared for Launch
Relatively new to the hobby. Have mainly just watched YouTube videos for the past few years and decided to give modeling a try. First non-sci fi build I have completed since I was a child.
This diorama depicts a German V-1 Rocket Bomb set [...]
1/72 Airfix A6M2b Zero
My final build for 2021. I started this on the 2nd of this month to see if I could get a build done in a months time. This is the Airfix 1/72 A6M2b kit. Its mostly OOB. I added PE seatbelts and some gunsight glass. Hinomarus and stripes [...]
Only one this year!
Man, I looked back and was surprised I only got one completed. Tamiya 1/32 P-51D. Almost got another Tamiya F-14A done, but not quite. I think I need some fun quick builds to start the next year, time to hit the Monogram and Revell stash!
Cyber Hobby 1/72 Sea Vampire F2.0
What an absolute joy of a kit.
Some lovely slide moulded parts and great fit.
The Cockpit is for another Vampire variant but as virtually nothing can be seen, I just went with it.
Any issues were of my own making but mainly managing to [...]
Aleutian Forktail...1/48 Lockheed P-38E Lightning, 54th FS/343rd FG, USAAF
So, here´s my dad´s last model for this year. The new Tamiya P-38 kit is one of the best my dad has built so far regarding fit and engineering.
Already posted it two days ago but deleted it again because I realized that my dad and I have [...]
