Tamiya scale model kits

1/35 Tamiya King Tiger (Henschel)

Here's one more Armor model for tonight. I built this King Tiger without zimmerit and its painted in the "Ambush" tri color scheme. The German tank manufacturing companies discontinued the use of Zimmerit paste in September [...]

1/35 Tamiya JS-3 Stalin Tank

Here's one fresh off the work bench. I just finished up the pastel weathering. It has been built for a little while, but was lacking the final details. It has Fruilmodel tracks, and I fabricated tow cables from copper wire. I used [...]

1/48 Tamiya 61013 Nakajima Ki-84-1A Hayate (Frank)

This is the venerable Tamiya kit from the late 60's / early 1970's. (In all actuality it is more like a 1/50 scale model). Still it was a fun build. I accidentally arrived at this finish. It was featured in a magazine called "Great [...]

Tamiya 1/48 F4U-1D Vought Corsair

Here is my Tamiya Corsair, built as it served with VF-84 on board the US Aircraft Carrier "Bunker Hill". You just can't have enough of them ! (At least I can't) This one was built using the kit parts to fold up the wings. This [...]

1/48 Tamiya F-16I Sufa

Yes, here is a conversion I did to a single seat Tamiya F-16 in 2013. I have included the WIP that I posted during the build. This was a fun build. John (link)

1/35 Tamiya Jagdpanther (late)

This is my second article posted. I'm new to I-modeler and I have received a warm welcome from many. Thanks! I have a lot of finished models, mainly 1/48 aircraft (some 1/32) and 1/35 armor. My main interest is in the WW2 and Korean [...]

1/48 F4U-1 builds (Tamiya and Hobby Boss)

This is my first posting here. I'm new to this group. Here are a few pictures of the Corsairs I'm currently working on. I'm a die hard F4U fan. I try my best to make my models as accurate as possible. I do a lot of research and [...]

Corsair build, some tips, and what a great fit

First, the beer. I am not in general fond of Pumpkin beers, especially ones from larger breweries. As often as not it is like they tried to stuff a pie in a bottle with some alcohol. But here in the Pacific Northwest I have found 3 I [...]

Tamiya 1/48 Corsair IV

The Fleet Air Arm was interested in the Corsair as soon as they heard about it, and began receiving Corsairs under Lend-Lease in 1943. At a time when the U.S. Navy was declaring the Corsair unsuitable for operations aboard an Essex-class [...]
