Tamiya scale model kits

1/48 Tamiya F4U-1

I was e-mailing these pics to a friend who just purchased the kit and thought I'd share them here as well. I built this one way back when it came out. Aeromaster enamel paints and Superscale decals finished her up. Not much else to [...]

Mojo restoration – Tamiya 1/48 Messerschmitt Bf 109E-3

It's time to call this one ready. The Bf 109E is my first completed kit in almost three years, a period when my modeling had been falling victim to other commitments in life. Although I'm the one who started iModeler, little did I know [...]

Tamiya 1/48 P-47D “No Gut’s No Glory” …Major benjamin I. Mayo…

EF-10B Skyknight

Hi All, Just completed the Douglas EF-10B Skyknight Sword's 1/72 kit Actually went together quite well my only moan would be that there wasn't much in the way of locating points when fitting the cockpit and the instructions are a little [...]

Tamiya’s new 1/48 refuelling truck

1/48th Tamiya F4U-1A

The Tamiya 1/48th Corsair kits (F4U-1, -1A and -1D) are extremely nice to work with and go together smoothly. I'd rank them as the best Corsair kits available in that scale. The plane I've modeled is a FG-1A (Goodyear produced) Corsair in [...]

F3D-2 Skyknight, Sword 1/72nd

Fifth for the year so far. Sword's F-3D Skyknight. Nice model, I did have to separate the intakes from the main engine bays in order to properly blend the intakes with milliput - but honestly it's difficult to see how Sword could have done [...]

ALMOST as good as the 32nd scale Tamiya Corsair…… The 72nd scale Tamiya Corsair

Following on James Kelley's excellent article on the 32nd scale Tamiya Birdscage, and because i am totally bereft of originality, i thought i'd post an article on my latest labour of love. This is my latest 72nd scale Corsair, Number 3, [...]

Tamiya 1/32 F4U-1 “Birdcage” Corsair

It's finished, at last. 🙂 I started this project in August 2013. I finished it up yesterday. There's really nothing I can say that hasn't already been said...it's the best kit I've ever built. It's built out of the box, with the [...]
