Tamiya scale model kits

Tamiya 1/6 Scale Harley FLH Classic……POW/MIA Tribute Bike

Peugeot 206 WRCWe Are The Champions! Tamiya 1/24

Back to safe ground, four wheels, and wings for keeping it on the ground. This is Tamiya's 1/24 kit of the Peugeot 206 World Rally Car which won both the drivers' and manufacturers' world championships in 2002. Having had much success [...]

1:48 Scale Tamiya, F4U-1, "Corsair"

Challenger Mk 1 & 2

Hi folks, I've finally got the Challenger 2 finished. Considering it was a Xmas present from the one before, not the one just gone, I seem to be a bit behind with my builds! The Mk 1 was a build from a while back and my first attempt at [...]

Back to the classics – part 2

In response to Jack Mugan's recent posting here's my version of Tamiya's Mercedes. I've finished it as a stock European version, complete with chrome bumpers, and, yes, a bakelite steering wheel! Thanks to Jack for encouraging me to post [...]
