Tamiya scale model kits

Tamiya 1/72 Fw 190

Apparently this never posted, but hey, stuff happens. This is my Fw 190 that I completed about a month ago. I had gotten this as an early christmas gift from my mom, who knew I wouldnt be at her house for christmas, so I tried my best to [...]

1/48 p-51b

This is an Accurate Miniatures P-51B that has been patiently waiting in my stash to be built for over 20 years. I have to confess that I’m not a huge Mustang fan, but have collected a few of the new Airfix and Eduard “D” models to [...]

Vengeance! Barber's P-38G Lightning

This is my interpretation of the P-38G flown by Col. Rex T. Barber during Operation Vengeance, the epic mission to intercept Admiral Yamamoto aboard his punctual Betty. That story has been well told elsewhere, and the history of the plane [...]

A classic.....then disaster!

Picked up this gem at Skyway here in Seattle, original 1974 M3 Stuart kit everything in it including the little tube of glue! Everything in Kanji! I had been looking for a good first issue of this kit for a long time. You can find them [...]

Video: Tamiya 1:72 Mitsubishi A6M3a Zero

It's been a long time since I built one of these Tamiya Zero's and that's a huge shame. Arguably one of the best 1:72nd kits ever engineered. Music: Kevin Macleod - (link) -Eastern Thought -Drone in D -Eastminster -Organic [...]

First completion of the year: Tamiya’s 109 G-6

Salute, gentlemen! And a great new year to all of you! I just finished Tamiya’s 1/48 109 G-6, and what a great kit it is. I would guess no other manufacturer could pull off such “gimmicks” as the interchangeable exposed engine/closed [...]

F-16 fighter

I took no "in progress" photos, but you all know how to build models! My first photo show's the model with the decal instruction sheet which was easy to follow. All I had to do was use my Tamiya X-2 Gloss White paint, then apply [...]
