Nice job John😀 -
Got this today.......Despite coming from Amazon, this model's box actually Was Not delivered damaged😀 A miracle? A milestone? Call it what you will.......I'm very pleased with Amazon for a change. From Tamiya, Their Suzuki GSX1100S KATANA In 1/6 scale.

I built a few in my younger modeling days.......I'm replacing some that I built. The finished models can be a bit fragile and all my old ones are gone. I have a couple of the 1/12 kits in my stash and they are probably a better choice for displaying. I've looked at their latest Honda Africa in 1/6 . It looks like an amazing kit😀

This came today.....It's Tamiya's Honda CB 750F in 1/6 scale. (16020)😀 Needless to say the box was damaged; Badly packaged and carelessly shipped . The contents, however are just fine .

Yes, I like looking at what the "guest" viewers are looking at after looking at the newest posts.......You can find good stuff that way😀 -
Can anyone inform me what the difference between the white label Tamiya cement is compared to the Extra thin We are all familiar with, and why isn't the white label, or for that matter their ABS cement sold in the U.S. ? Just Curious🤔

What?.......Didn't anyone think of this one? The beautiful F-86 Sabre. One of these is based at Waukegan airport and I see it on occasion........ Once , while driving on Green Bay road by the airport, I saw it cross the road about 30 feet above the truck ahead of me. -

Started this little Tamiya H39 last September....... Hard to believe😀 Very nice little kit. Added Friulmodel tracks. Decided to leave off the provided tow chains....they just looked too big I used my H&S Infinity 2024 for the camouflage. Works great, but I need more practice. -
I must consider the squirrel set. A big fan of Squirrels, I've been feeding them for months, but I think I'll hold off until a 1/6 or larger scale version is offered😀 Here's a pic of one of my friends...... He takes walnut halves from my hands😀

A couple of my engines....... The red engine needed repairs to the governor. The factory sent the parts free of charge. Adjustments were made to the governor after the parts were replaced. The tabletop enhances the hits of this hit / miss engine and the engine is hopping around a bit. VID_20260321_120947.mp4 VID_20260321_121308.mp4
