    Best Japanese fighter against USN planes

    Unfortunately it is not the most well documented or proven aircraft but I imagine the Japanese A7M Reppu "Sam" would've been a one of the best fighters against US aircraft if it had been fully realized before the end of the war. It appears it suffered from the lack of a good powerplant to push...

    Nakajima Ki-44 CGI Project

    I have been taking an interest in Nakajima aircraft recently and your work helps me to appreciate the Shoji's design. Although it is somewhat strangely proportioned when viewed from certain angle, it's one of my favorites. Excellent stuff!

    SBD Dauntless, from scratch

    Never thought the dauntless would still look so great even with it's cowling off. Impressive!

    Post Your Models!

    Thanks guys! I might try armor next, that would be fun to do a diorama of. I'm very happy with how it came out, I honestly thought I was doomed to never having any luck with models but 1/72 figures are the way to go it seems.

    Post Your Models!

    About a month ago I found 4 figures (3 Paratroopers and a German) so I put them to use in a small diorama I call "Generic Paratrooper Diorama WW2." I used a "Condensation Catcher" as a base and formed the mud with hot glue. The Grass is shredded felt and the house is scrap balsa. I hope it's not...

    Duplo hurricane made by my kids

    Very Very well done, especially with the limitations of those chunky duplo blocks! I wish I had a picture of the Mustang I built with those a few years back.
