Review: iModeler Review- Tamiya 1/35 Wespe “Italian Front”
As they so often do, Tamiya last month released a new kit without making too much fuzz about it. I must admit I like their low-key approach to new products, without the hype, teasers and dramatic videos with which some companies like to [...]
M26 recovery vehicle
This is a model I made in 2015 and won a silver medal at a contest with it but as I learn more about modeling I begin to see how bad and poorly made it looks bad painting and bad weathering so I decided to repaint and weather it so here is [...]
1/48 Tamiya Mosquito
Hi All,
The Mosquito is my favorite aircraft and I would love to be able to get behind the stick some day. I won't be able to add much to all the things said about this Tamiya kit other than it was a pleasure to build, very smooth. I [...]
An Old Theme Revisited
Here is my interpretation of a meeting between the SAS and the LRDG! It uses the Tamiya 1/35 scale kits and was really a vehicle for me to try my hand at modeling desert terrain. Comments welcome as always!
Porsche 911 GT2
Yep. another completed, but to be fair it was started long before the 350Z that I posted here a couple of weeks ago. So straight to the point, this is another Tamiya kit, and it is as ever superbly engineered, and fits just about [...]

A popular decoding of ‘The Rommel Myth’ suggests that both sides in the Second War used him as a propaganda weapon, and that he was fundamentally a committed patriot quietly enraged by the restrictions placed upon Germany by The Treaty [...]
Tamiya 1/48th Mitsubishi Ki-46 Recon “Dinah”, IJA WWII PTO
When the Imperial Japanese Army invaded China and parts of SE Asia, before the official start of WWII. They soon realized that their current recon aircraft would not be suitable to cover the vastness of China and the Pacific region. So [...]
Brewster F2A-2 Buffalo (Tamiya 1/48)
Hi everybody! This is my latest build, and this one is something special. First of all, this is an iModeler build, started back in October 2015, and it took 2 years and 7+ months to be completed. And all I can say – thank you everybody, [...]
Nismo 350Z
As you may recall, I build a few cars alongside the usual military aircraft projects. This is Tamiya's 1:24 Nismo version of their old but still excellent Nissan 350Z Coupe (US = Fairlady Z).
As usual for a Tamiya car kit, it's perfectly [...]
