I just can't leave the Hinomaru alone. A significantly more modern offering from Tamiya.
The scheme will not please a single purist. Some argue it doesn't exist, those that say it does cannot agree on the colour. 🙄🤪🤔
Guess what....I don't care.

Nakajima A6M2-2...basically a Zero with floats. A 1970's vintage kit by Tamiya. Cheap and a quick bit of fun.

A good mojo cleanser, there was just enough room for it on the 2nd Soviet armour shelf.
As always with Soviet builds I have attempted to portray either incompetence or menace.

Soviet SU-18 self propelled gun. It never went into production, top heavy, narrow gauge and only held 4 shells.
Prototype roll out day, 10th October 1930, the ever-present commisars are not happy.
Kit by HobbyBoss 1/35. Loved making this little one.

I enjoyed it a lot. I know it came in for a bit criticism, but I let that wash over me. I particularly enjoyed seeing the St. Charmonds

Todays entertainment. Battle of Eylau, 7-8 February 1807. After 5 hours of intense play we replicated history by reaching a bloody inconclusive end.

This is doing the job. I have no idea why I bought it unless I foresaw #HeaviesGB years ago.

Forgot to post this. Had a play of Dresden a few days ago. The pitiful lack of progress by both Russia and Prussia meant that calling it off at turn 6 of 32 created a draw. That's better than history.
It also fitted perfectly my opponent's time slot. Top fun.

Many of you are turning out wonderful work.
Me, just doing an ancient kit OOB. It hates Tamiya super thin.
