SPA Modeler

Another OOB build. T/C figure from the Dragon US Tank Crew figure set, and stowage from my spares bin. I modeled this one after the ones used by the 9th Armored Division, 14th Armor at Remagen Bridge, March 1945.

This was built in 48 hours for the "Weekend Madness" GB. A fun simple kit. http://i72.photobucket.com/albums/i181/stikpusher/models/100_9880_zps4844e7eb.jpg http://i72.photobucket.com/albums/i181/stikpusher/models/100_9881_zpsba7b7949.jpg http://i72.photobucket.com/albums/i181/stikpusher/m...

Thank you! How do you do that?

I built this as a "What If?" in Mexican Air Force colors using Aztec Decals. Armament came from my spares bin based off of photos of MAF F-5Es. The only changes that I made to the kit itself was opening up the scoop at the base of the tail fin, adding a blade antenna to the fuselage spine,...

I built this one with a few changes. I swapped out some roadwheels with ones from spares bin based off of photos I found of one. I added a few grab handles, and swapped out the empty external fuel drum mounts, again from my spares bin and based off of the same photos. And I replaced the kit tow cabl...

I built this almost completely OOB, except for adding some scratch detail work to the inner faces of the TC hatch and some brass wire pins to add sag to the tracks. This is my latest completion. Tamiya's 1975 vintage classic kit of the Type 97 Chi Ha tank. Building it was exceptionally easy. The onl...
