Tamiya scale model kits

The AVG »Flying Tigers« diorama 1/48

The story of American Volunteer Group (AVG) in China is legendary and well known. For my Flying Tigers diorama I chose the scene from Loiwing in the Southeast China in april 1942. It was one of rare occasions, where different pilots and [...]

1/48 Tamiya Blue Nose Bodney Diorama

P-47D Thunderbolt Razorback

The aircraft itself doesn't need to be introduced in very detail. Big radial engine, 8 guns, superb speed and thoughness, this is the real workhorse designed to deal with heavy damage and spread a panic inside the enemy's formation... [...]

Relics from Mom's House...ancient armor artifacts....

The 70's just don't seem that long ago...gad I've been doing this awhile. I left my parent's bosom at age 27 in 1982, but plenty of bits of me remain behind in the basement, among them these plastic beasties. At the time these were state [...]

Tamiya 1/72 FW 190

I very much enjoy building Tamiya kits. Their ease of construction allows me to get to the part of modeling I enjoy most: painting and weathering. In this case I share my build of Tamiya’s 1/72 Focke Wulf Fw-190 A3. The kit went [...]

Tamiya's 1/48th F4U-1A Corsair

1/32 Tamiya P-51D Mustang

Here is my finally complete Tamiya P -51D. I think all of my other completed builds posted on this site were completed while this Mustang was in progress! I used EagleCal markings for Lt Goebel's 31st Fighter Group Mustang. Cockpit [...]

Kawasaki Ninja ZX-12R

This is another of Tamiya's 1/12 scale motorcycle kits, this time a road going Kawasaki. I originally set out to make only racing bikes, so this one makes a slight change. The ZX-12R was introduced in 1999 to meet the growing demand for [...]

My Only Build Without WingsTamiya 1/48 Flakpanzer Mobelwagen

Ok - I had been noticing this series of 1/48 scale armor kits that Tamiya has steadily been releasing, and reading a lot of favorable reviews. I wanted a 'quick' fun build, so when I saw this i thought I would give it a try. I can [...]
