Tadpole crossing


Even though the Tadpole didn't see action I wanted to make a what if scenario for this. (An excuse to use my British infantry set from Emhar)
The Tadpole was fitted with a mortar in the rear to provide additional support


I tried to make a scene of the Tadpole crossing No-Mans land with infantry support.

Sorry for the lack of new things on this blog, I've just had a lot on my plate lately. But now you can expect a lot more posts from here on out.

HobbyBoss 1/48th Scale Me 262 A-1b Review and finished model




This kit was one of the best Me 262 kits I have seen. It has an incredible amount of interior detail, amazing panel lines, and a good range of optional parts such as experimental missiles on the underside of the wings. The kit cost me around 50 dollars and I have to say, money well spent on this. My only concern is the insert for the wheels. Its a bit of a loose fit and it ended up at a slight angle. But nothing too noticeable


The model fit really well except for one panel on the fuselage which was a bit of a loose fit so i put some putty on the corners and glued it in place. the small tubes on the bottom appear to be booster rockets from the little research I did. This model was a prototype testing a new engine and was never put into combat. I decided to take matters into my own hands and weather it in a sort of "what if" scenario if it had made it to mass production. The wheel wells are nicely detailed and so are the engines. I used one of the recommended paint schemes and had a little freedom with it since, like I said earlier, it was never mass produced. I personally like the paint chipping effect even though I over did it. This is one of the models I'm most proud of . I wanted to build the model to show its 30mm cannons in the front. Over all, well worth the money if you want an accurate and detailed kit. Hope you enjoyed.


Why hello there.



I wanted to start a blog about plastic modeling of armour and aircraft. Im really new to making models so I'm open to all constructive criticism and advice. I plan on doing some kit reviews but mostly just showing my models and techniques. I hope you enjoy my blog.
