Hi There,
What can I say it's Arma. A cracking wee kit. The only fit issue I found was with the Canopy.
Primed with Tamiya Neutral Grey,
Painted with Colourcoats Sky Type S, Extra Dark Sea Grey, Dark Slate Grey, Light Aircraft Grey and [...]
Diamond Nose...1/48 North American P-51D Mustang, 356th FG USAAF
Built in 2013, this was the third Merlin Mustang my dad built, but the first he did correct, regarding the wings. Back then it was new info for us that the P-51 had sealed/filled panel lines on the wings. Besides that the wings were [...]
TAMIYA 1/35th M113a2
Found this little kit i started about 10 years ago, will have to get it finished. BUT, i've since moved house and lost a few parts!
Any how, i'll add some straps, brackets etc. and try to find some replacement parts.
Pictures a little [...]
1/35 Tamiya Cromwell
The Cromwell came out of the requirement for a replacement for the Crusader which the British High Command knew wasn't going to be enough. Nuffield's A24 design was originally picked as the basis for the Cromwell, but it was powered by [...]

TAMIYA 1/35th CHIEFTAIN TANK

Slight weathering will be applied and, as i'm new to airbrushing, the finish could be "interesting" to say the least.
Until this is finished, the "Memphis Belle" has [...]
1/48 Tamiya Focke-Wulf FW-190F-8
I haven't built one of these in awhile, so I decided to just relax and have some fun with it. Aside from a little putty around the area where the cowling meets the wings' leading edge, this kit goes together very well. The markings are for [...]
Revell 1/144 Airbus A320 Neo.
I have been building this in the background as a wee surprise for a friend who was working at Turnhouse.
She was made redundant during the first lockdown but has grown to love Civilian Airlines and is hoping that she will get back there [...]

Built in 2016.
One of the weapon systems towards the end of the war that was intended to bring the change.
Has some connection to our home region.
About 30km away from our hometown there was a He162 underground facility in Hinterbrühl. [...]
