Tamiya scale model kits

TAMIYA 1:48 F4U-1a Corsair

Hello everyone, after observing the models on this site for a while, I found the courage to publish this creation that was commissioned to me and for which I confess that I "stole" ideas from this site too . The subject is among [...]

Academy XB-70 VALKYRIE JET AIRPLANE

I finished building this model in March of 2012, then I took it to the next model meeting. One question came up and some guys wanted to know why I painted it "Pink?" I replied by saying: "I found a photo of the real jet on [...]

Tamiya 1/20 scale 1997 Ferrari F110B Schumacher

This little race car is a great little model and a wonderful kit. I got to take this actual (real) car up the hill at Goodwood last year and as a tribute I wanted to build a model of it! It was great having the actual car available to me [...]

Monogram Apollo 11 vintage kit build

This Apollo 11 build was a commission build for AirBus in France and quite the challenge! I used a vintage Monogram 1/48th scale kit from 1970 and it is not very good. I basically scratch built everything using the included parts as a [...]

1/48 scale TBM-3 Avenger

Accurate Miniature's went all out on this kit by making a whole bunch of parts that fit very nicely. I went step by step putting each section of parts together, like the top turret, lower gun emplacement, radio area and of course the [...]

1/35th TAMIYA "CHASMOSAURUS & BABY"

This is a 1/35th scale Tamiya kit. I revised the vinyl base by removing the dead tree and rocks and replacing them with real rocks and a piece of a dead tree branch. I glued the base to a section of 3/8" thick styrofome and added [...]

"TRICERATOPS"

I don't recall if all 3 models came in the same box, nor do I remember who made these 3 kits, plus the little fish. 1998 is a long time for me to remember@ 88.6 yrs old! The base was made by using some more "Plaster-of-Paris." [...]

1/72 Tamiya Spitfire Mk Ia

Tamiya 1/72 Spitfire Mk Ia. I have had this kit in the stash for quite a while. It was time to build it especially since I did not have a Mk Ia in the collection. This plane was flown by Sqn Ldr Rupert "Lucky" Leigh of No. 66 Sqn [...]

1/35th. STEGOSAURUS “DINO.”

This kit was made by Tamiya and was a good kit to build o.o.b; but the builder sure messed up building it. The kit is made out of "VINLY" and not the tradition plastic that we modeler's are use to working with. The builder which [...]
