The Panzer III parallels the Wehrmacht's rise and fall in WW2. Let's explore this in scale with Dragon's 1/35 Panzer III Ausf. F.

In my first group build, I tackle Tamiya's 1/48 Brewster Buffalo. Is it a stubby fighter with a bad reputation, or a victim of circumstance?

It's time for paint! In this post, I'll tackle Tamiya's 1/48 F4F-4 Wildcat flying with the Bulldogs of VMF-223 and the Cactus Air Force!

What effect did theT-34 have on the battlefield and how were so many produced? I turn to Tamiya's 1/35 scale T-34/76 1943 kit for answers.

I've learned a lot about my relationship to scale modeling in the last few years. Now it's time to share my self-assessed idiosyncrasies!

Model tank tracks mean creative freedom. Here are my top 10 favorite tips and tricks to mix and match.

Behold the Wildcat's legendary Pratt & Whitney R-1830 Twin Wasp! Let's see how Tamiya, HobbyBoss, and Eduard bring it to life in 1/48!

This post is part of a series discussing 1/48 Wildcats by Tamiya, HobbyBoss, and Eduard from unboxing to final weathering.

The Oliver Hazard Perry-class first set sail in 1977 and examples are still in service across the globe. To find out why, I had to build!

Even a ship's aviation detachment should get the proper detailing and weathering. Here's how I do it on the small scale!

A Pegasus-class boat is small. And at 1/700 they are even smaller. How much modeling can there possibly be?

Refurbishment projects are an excellent way to test new ideas. In this post, I place Tamiya's 1/35 scale Sd.Kfz. 250/9 under the brush.

Weathering is a process, with a set of tools, that are designed to bring out the most in a subject. Let's talk oil dot filters!

The Tiger. A subject that any armor modeler worth their weight in glue will have proudly displayed on their shelf.

The Zero is an icon of the Imperial Japanese Navy and World War II. Here is my build of Tamiya's 1/48 Mitsubishi A6M2 Zero.

In this post, I show you how to get the most out of legacy aircraft kit engines using easy techniques and a bit of patience.

Tanks are a common subject for modelers. Uncommon are tanks with a mine roller attached!

If you have wondered how every rivet on a tank or panel line on a plane has depth, chances are a pin wash has been applied.

Many years ago I built Tamiya's 1971 tooling of the Panzer II and now I have my hands on their 2008 new(ish)-tooling kit.

In this second installment of my project to build the modern US Navy fleet, I take on the Dragon's USS Zumwalt (DDG-1000) in 1/700.
