I did this Do 335 not long ago for the Arrow GB. This is the Tamiya 1/48 heavy fighter version. I opened her up and used CMK and Quickboost resin engines and fuel tank. I also added a set of Eduard seat belts but the cockpit is otherwise OOB. I used solder wire for the engine plumbing.

22

Bvallot, 1/48 is correct. I built it about ten years ago. Thanks!

23

1:48 Spitfire and Mustang.

24

Wow, beautiful work guys!!! I was looking though my photos and hate to say it but it seems most of my stuff seems to be Hasegawa instead of Tamiya or Monogram! [:$]

Anyway a few Tamiya kits here- P-47D

El Salvadorian F4U- great kit and one of the more inexpensive Tamiya models:

Spitfire Mark I

25

WOW these are great, especially the Swordfish on floats, I hope I can do half as well on the next Tamiya bird I build…

26

Oh okay…I’ll post a few more…And Thanks!

28

Geez Leftie, that thing looks real!

29

Here’s one of mine - P-47D

30

With those camera angles, sheesh, it DOES look like someone doing a walk around the real thing!!

31

Yeah that’s gorgeous Leftie!

And your P-47 ain’t too shabby either Sanderson.

32

Here’s another 1/48 F-16C with Luke AFB markings:

33

I guess I should post a few of mine. You’ve probably never seen one of these before. [;)]

Tamiya 1/48 bf-109e-4/7 trop

OOB except for some resin weighted wheels. (and my wife’s hair for an antennae wire.)

I used Don’s tip for shooting against a printed background. It made a world of difference!

The camera angle is a little high. -or maybe it was taken by someone passing by in a 110.

34

Another classic. Tamiya 1/48 spitfire mk 1 OOB

Same background as the 109 so it’s a little out of place. I haven’t found a suitable image of the English countryside to make a worthy background for a spit yet.

Let’s just say the pilot got lost.

35

These are all so nice. Now I know for sure my next kit has to be a Corsair!! Here are the last two Tamiya kits I built… 1/48 thunderbolt and the famous 1 32 spitfire.

36

Wow newtothis, I’m not going to stop modeling until mine turn out so well…I should live so long

37

Thanks Jay Jay, that’s nice of you to say. But I really think you shouldn’t stop modelling purely because it’s an awful lot of fun!!

1/72 F4U Corsair, built for the Braille Scale GB:

I’ll play.

Here is my 1/32 Tamiya F4 Corsair that I built as a Christmas gift for my dad. Enjoy’’
