Mustang III by Tamiya in 1/48
Built quite a few years ago. I've always had a liking for Mustangs with a Malcolm hood; this build always bothered me somewhat as the kit only offered a closed canopy. Fast forward to 2020 and a period of 'what shall I do next', it [...]
Tamiya 1/48 Me-109E-3 in Romanian Colors
I found some really interesting decals for a Romanian Me-109E-3 that led to this build. These planes were former Luftwaffe planes that were handed over to the Romanians. They repainted the planes in their own colors and markings. I used [...]
Tamiya Panzer III
I had so much fun doing the Monogram Panzer IV, I decided to do a second armor project and chose the Tamiya Panzer III Ausf. L. This one is out of the box and as every 1/48 Tamiya armor kit I’ve done, it was very enjoyable. Good detail [...]

Korea GB: Tamiya 1/35 M-41 Walker Bulldog
Ok this build was amazing. I absolutely love Tamiya and I only ever want to build their tanks now haha! The only downside per say was the tracks, which I figured a way to do well. But it's done! For now, at least. You may see it again. Not [...]
Revell 1/48 pv-1 ventura
Quick review here. My father trained bomber pilots during WWII in Beaufort, S.C. I asked him why the noses on his PV-1s looked different. He explained the radar units were in short supply and couldn't be wasted on training aircraft. So [...]
Airfix 1/72 Hawker Typhoon Ib Starter Kit
Hi there,
This one has been sitting in the pile for well over a year and as I was contemplating surgery for the Buccaneer I thought I could build this one for Innis to see if I was capable of cutting out some plastic without it looking too [...]
