Tamiya scale model kits

Building the 1/8th Scale Tamiya Suzuki RGV-L

Brabham -BMW BT 50

The old Tamiya kit of the beautiful Brabham from Gordon Murray, win with Nelson Piquet in formula 1 grand prix. Easy build and nice details level . see you soon

Tamiya 1/48 P-51B "Captain Don S. Gentile" and A-36 dirtied up

M4A3 Sherman Tamiya 1/35…hey Mac…which way to Bastogne

Tamiya 1/48 P-47 Bubbletop in Gabby Gabreski’s markings

Well, usually I like to build things with slightly unusual markings, but this time around was different. My son was interested in building a P-47 with Gabreski's markings, and started in on the Hobby Easy 1/48 kit (which includes those [...]

Yekîneyên Parastina Gel T-72

The T-72 from Tamiya. In the ongoing Syrian civil war, the largely Kurdish west of the country is less of a conflict between the Free Syrian Army and Assad, and more of a conflict between the "Islamic State Of Iraq and the [...]
