Tamiya scale model kits

Tamiya 1/35 Tiger 1 Early Production

I built this a while ago but thought I might show it off here as I'm now in my fourth week of sanding, filling and filing my attempt at the Airfix Vulcan. Having never built any 1/35 armour when I was younger and after being not so subtly [...]

1/35 Tamiya Tiger I. The beginning of the learning curve.

For years i had wanted to get back into modelling, so finally, in June 2018 and 30 years after finishing a very rushed Victor K2 at the age of about 13 that ended up in the cracker pit i decided i would try my hand again. I had little idea [...]

IJN Yamato

I think everyone needs to build a Yamato. The Tamiya 1/350 with Pontos

1/35 Tamiya Königstiger (1993 kit)

I was three models into this hobby and ready to tackle something more challenging. I had the Tiger II, also known as the King Tiger, Royal Tiger or Königstiger, kit that i had picked up second hand sitting and waiting for me. The kit i [...]

M3 LEE

This is my take on the M3 LEE. The kit is from TAMIYA and it comes together very well. That said, I’m not too happy with the result. It might be the wrong weathering or color as it did not come out as good as I hoped it would. Any ideas?

Just arrived on my front porch

Just arrived. Tore into it like a ravening wolf. A more detailed review will be up at M2 next week. But right off, the surface detail is amazing, more petite even than the recent Fw-190 and Tempest, if such is possible. For those who say [...]

Hi all. Another victim from my modelling workshop. This time is a restored M60A3 from Tamiya. A very old modell that I buit a long time ago with USMC colors. This time I painted it with de colors and markings of the Infantería de Marina [...]

Spangdahlem F-16C

Hey folks, back again: It's odd but until recently I'd not built an F-16 in any scale for over twenty years, now there's two in my cabinet ! - the other is an Italeri 'B' This is Tamiya's 1:48 F-16C-50, not quite a 'shake'n bake' as some [...]

Outpost in Libya, fall 1941

So I ended up building a diorama for my Sd.Kfz. 222 Leichter Panzerspähwagen but it needed something more than just the 222. As I already had the FLAK 37 anti-aircraft gun on my shelf, I decided to use that as it had some nice figures as [...]
