Howdy all. I've lurked on and off here for quite some time but have finally jumped aboard.


Here's a few of my builds from the last ten to fifteen years...

This is Hobbycrap's 48th Hawk 81. I was rather pleased with it when I finished it but am rather embarrassed by it now. Still, it's a P-40 and I have to like it...

Image


Tamigawa's 48th D-Stang... 'twas almost finished when this shot was taken a year ago, and she's still almost finished... :roll:

Image


This here's the 48th Hasegagme D-Schtang built SOB with no decals other than dry transfers on the tail...

Image


Hasegagme's 48th Hurri IIC. I like black airplanes... alot...

Image


Although it's not the bestest model I ever done-did-do, I'm proud of the fact that there's not one decal of any sort on this thing. 'Tis all paint and colored pencil. Otaki 48th Spit VIII...

Image


This is Hobbycrap's 48th Gustav, a G-6/R6 to be exact. This was an SOB build gone seriously wrong... when all was said and done I'd added too much stuff, including a scratchbuilt Revi sight...

Image

Image


What the hell, I'll throw a target... er... tank in here too... Tamigawa 35th T-34/76...

Image

Here's a shot in more flattering light, taken at the local shop...

Image


Here's my little SdKfz 222 by Tamigawa...

Image


And here's Colonel Slater... Verlinden 35th...

Image


Sometime back I did some 200th stuff for a guy. I wish I had more photos of them because there were some real beauts that I'm rather proud of. Too bad the guy is a real jacka**, otherwise I'd have some more to show...

Image


And, finally, this is the wildest paintjob I've done. 'Tis the 'ole Nichimo 48th kit...

Image

Great work

That kind of quality really puts me to shame :lol: Thanks for posting them, Now I need to strip the P-51 I've been working on for 5 years and start again. Try and bring it up several notches.

Thanks guys, glad you like. I too have to draw inspiration from them because I haven't finished anything in a long while. Modeler's block is a bummer...

But with the arrival of the new Hasegawa P-40s the flame has begun to burn a bit more brightly!
