Tamiya scale model kits

D-Day Mossie: 1/48th Tamiya Mosquito NF Mk. XIII

If you haven't built a 1/48th Tamiya Mosquito you may want to consider one. A model of this caliber can serve as a benchmark of what an excellent kit encompasses or just be that great, low-stress build when you need one. (Say for example, [...]

Tamiya P-51D-20 "Stinger VII" Very Long Range

Here is the older, but still very nice 1/48 P-51D kit dressed up as Maj. Robert Moore's "Stinger VII" based out Iwo Jima in August of 1945. I sourced the decals and the drop tanks from the Eduard "VLR" special edition [...]

Everyone on board !!

Ciao ragazzi, here my old Tamiya Panther Ausf A somewhere in Normandy. I use the zimmerit from Eduard for old Tamiya kit and is very realistic but not so easy to apply; the crew on board come from different brands, I used Tamiya for the [...]

Tamiya 1/48 Swordfish Mk.II

The D-Day stripes were a good incentive for another Swordfish build.

1/35th scale German HANOMAG

Here is an oldie but a goody of a kit, the 1/35th scale German HANOMAG kit by Tamiya from 1973. Last time I built this kit was probably around 1978, brought back a lot of memories from my early model building days. Easy build with crappy [...]

1/700 U.S.S. Fletcher (DD-445)

This was a quick build of the 1996 Tamiya kit to get myself back in the mood for building ships. It was more or less out of the box - the only modifications were to paint the black antiskid strips on the deck, a PE rail over the bridge, [...]

The JUG! Golly, it's a big one...

Hi'all ! Here's a Tamiya's 1:48 P74D Razorback. Decals by Techmod, they depict a machine flown by Francis 'Gabby' Gabreski (Franciszek Gabryszewski, Polish parents ;). I was aiming for some more variations of olive drab, but it all [...]

Tamiya 1/24 Ford Mustang GT4

Inspired by the Team Penske nascar cup, Ryan Blaney bodyarmor car, the camo paint is airbrushed (no decals) the decals on the car are self made. Tamiya made a great car, the build was really fun and fantastic i really enjoyed it!

Rusted Statue Vignette 1:35 Scale

This is something a little different for me. I do not know why I got this idea to do a little vignette of a statue but once I had the idea I had to create it. I also wanted it to include real lighting for the lamp post and a custom base [...]

Tamiya 1/12th Honda CBR 1100xx "Super Blackbird"

Stolen from the Tamiya instructions: Unveiled to the public in 1996, Honda's CBR 1100XX "Super Blackbird" has brought the leading edge of motorcycle technology to a new height. Even though it provides an awesome 165 horsepower [...]
