Tamiya scale model kits

M3 Stuart “Honey” & Matilda III (Infantry Tank Mark IIА *) Kaunter scheme

Good afternoon, dear colleagues! I present the just completed double of two models of tanks of the British Empire in service in North Africa. I really wanted to implement different versions of the Kaunter scheme, and therefore the idea was [...]

Tamiya 1/48 Mosquito F.B. VI

The Mosquito is truly one of the legendary aircraft of World War II. Conceived as a private venture to utilize “non-strategic” materials in construction and originally planned as an unarmed bomber that depended for its defense on high [...]

Tamiya 1/48 Dewoitine D.520

I have recently restarted making models after a long gap more than 30 years. Although aged eyes are really a problem for a 63 year-old modeler, building aircraft kits is a big fun anyway. This D.520 is completely out of the box including [...]

Spitfire Vc. from (mostly) Airfix 1/48

Another Spitfire! This time it's a Mk. Vc as flown in Malts by Wing Commander Peter Prosser Hanks DFC, who commanded the Luqa Spitfire Wing. BR498 was delivered via HMS Furious on 17th August 1942 & unusually, was not fitted with a [...]

Tamiya 1:48 Scale, Ki.61-I

Probably one of the best models I've ever built. Tamiya has really upped the game with this kit, with the engineering being amazing. Very little putty is required, and the kit falls together. The only complaint I can point at, are the [...]

An oldie and a goodie, the Tamiya Jagdpanzer IV/70 Lang (1976)

Picture 1 and 2 are general pictures of Hilde. Picture three shows close ups of the on board storage on the engine deck, personal gear with straps hanging from a web tied to holding loops. Also, some personal weapons from the spare parts [...]

Work in progress—1/48 scale Tamiya Salamander

Still plugging away—-ready for sealant coat before decals...this is a fun easy kit to build (IMHO)
