Revell 1/32 Mosquito
Interested to see what could be done with this kit without spending a fortune. Actually very impressed! PRU model with the fuselage camera in the wrong place (sorry)! Eduard wheels (for Tamiya) were the only extras. When you open the box [...]
TAMIYA 1/32 F4U1a.
This is my Tamiya RNZAF Corsair.
It's a beautiful kit and really needs no aftermarket to make a fantastic model.
Nonetheless I added some HGW seatbelts as well as Barracuda cockpit stencils and various bits of wiring to the cockpit.
I also [...]
Tamiya 1/48 De Havilland Mosquito PR Mk.IV
Hi There,
This kit was given to me by my latest trainee at work after he passed out as a thank-you. This is the first time in over 30 years that this has happened to me and I was very touched by it.

Tamiya 1/32 Scale P-51D with aluminum skin Part 1
Hello fellow modelers! Well i'm at it again with the aluminum skin builds. As you can see I am well under way on this P-51D from Tamiya. Great kit so far, few little fit issues but nothing crazy. Scratch built the seat cushion some wiring [...]
Sister Squadrons
This project began shortly after i took GYPSY 203, a VF-32 Tomcat built for John Lawler, to the IPMS Nationals in Phoenix. Having enjoyed building the Tamiya Tomcat, i wanted to build one for myself.

1/48 Tamiya Nakajima Ki-84 Hayate (Frank)
Hello,
I'm new to iModeler and a beginner model maker. This is my first post so be easy on me. Not sure if this is where I'm suppose to post but here it it.
Old Tamiya kit I had fun making. Not much detail and the fit wasn't great but it [...]
Revell 1/72 DHC-6 Twin Otter
Hi There,
I picked this up last year for much cheapness and decided to give it a go over my long weekend. Innis advised me that the Sea Plane version was the one to go for so here it is in all it's amateurish glory.
I found trying to get [...]
Tamiya 1/12 xv1600.
Here's the next chapter in my current motorcycle fixation.
It's Tamiya's XV1600 Custom which I have modified slightly to look more like a "semi-customised" version...
I removed all the kit's fake chrome and re-did all the metal [...]
Tamiya 1/12 Yamaha Virago XV1000.
This is my take on Tamiya's Yamaha XV1000...
Built from the box except that I removed the fake chrome plating and used Alclad for all the metal bits.
I decided to paint it in a custom "retro" style scheme with Tamiya's Pearl [...]
