Tamiya 1/32 P-51D
A great kit. Engine wires and plumbing sources are marked to ease construction. However, the busy wheel well is relatively barren. Hence, it is up to the builder to complete the missing plumbing.
2023 in review
I might get one last one in, but likely not. I got Snoopy's Sopwith Camel, the Monogram re-pop from Atlantis for Christmas, but despite its' simplicity I doubt I get it done by Jan 1. So here are. my 2023 builds! Bandai 1/72 X-wing (if [...]

Jim Sullivan Group Build: Vought F4U-1A Corsair "Big Hog"
Even though it took a longer time than expected, I finally finished my contribution to honor Jim Sullivan.
Jim has been a very important person for all aviation enthusiasts and therefore it is an honor to be able to remember Jim by [...]
Vintage Tamiya 1/25 Tiger I finished!
Not much to say about this kit, it is inaccurate in many ways, I won't go onto the list as it's extensive. It does however look the part when done and was a fun trip down memory lane to a Christmas 50. years ago when I unwrapped one. [...]

Tamiya 1/48 Swordfish Mk.II
My choice of Tamiya's best 1/48th ever produced.
PE set was used as a guide to fashion a new wire set. I found that both flat and round profile bracing wires were used in production aircraft.
Slats were cut and extended like seen on parked [...]
Tamiya F35B

Tamiya He-162 Salamander
Here is my latest completed project, my only build for the year sadly, Tamiya’s He-162 in 1/48 scale.
It’s a great kit but not one of Tamiya’s best in my opinion. It comes with the option of interchangeable open and closed engine [...]
