Tamiya 1:48 F-16C Block 32 Aggressor
This is my second Tamiya F-16 and was completed in March 2021. I encountered a few small fit issues I don't remember from the first one, but I still really love this kit: clever engineering, not overly difficult, but still an interesting [...]

Tamiya 1/48 F4U-1 Bird Cage Corsair VMF-213
I assembled and painted the Tamiya Corsair in about 5 days. The painting was done mainly by hand with a brush. I used a light gray color that is not very noticeable on the panel lines to make the model look bigger than it is.

Tamiya 1/48 T-55 – Gzhel pottery Pattern
I painted Tamiya's T-55 in the Gzhel pattern. The actual tank in this paint scheme exists in Russia.
After painting it white with an airbrush, I used a blue color that is typical of ceramics to paint in the pattern. It was a little [...]
1/35 Scots Greys M3 Grant.
I enjoyed the Stuart so much that I knocked out another old Tamiya tank kit that lurked in the stash for decades. This one is the 1974 vintage M3 Grant. Not a bad model for 1974. One thing the kit lacks are rails above the sand [...]
Panzer KampfWagen VI Tiger II "Konigs Tiger"
I’ve start building the 1975 rebox kit (code MM157) of the King Tiger in the late 1980’s and, due to bad tracks, shelfed it until this spring. Back then, can’t precise when, I’ve bought a (plastic) separate tracks links for this [...]
