Tamiya scale model kits

1/48 Tamiya Citroen Traction 11CV Staff Car

Wanted to build something fast that didn't cost an arm n leg to test out the dot filter technique I see others using. This is the end result. A basic interior, simple chassis and no engine detail to see but the oil pan. Painted using MM [...]

Yamaha YZF R1

Hi everyone, this is my Yamaha R1. It's a Tamiya 1:12 kit, and the kit had been sat in my wardrobe still in the box for about ten years! It was originally the Taira racing kit but I haven't really followed the colour scheme. I managed to [...]

Pretty green and mean

After a twenty year absence from Grand Prix motorcycle racing, Kawasaki returned in 2002, after four years' development they started to have some consistent results in 2006 with this machine, the ZX-RR, with riders S. Nakano from Japan and [...]

1/350 I-400 by Tamiya

The I-400 class of submarines were the largest undersea vessels of World War II. They were designed to give Japan the ability to launch stealth attacks on distant targets and sneak away undetected. Speaking of which, it is even rumored [...]

When the US Air Force had a Navy!

This is my rendition of the old (and I do mean OLD) Lindberg Models 1950's era USAF air/sea rescue boat. I built a similar model as a youngster and couldn't figure why it didn't include torpedo tubes like my Revell PT boat. It was a [...]

Tamiya Simca...."My car please !!!"

Still have about two hours to go adding resistance rifle and some euro dust from MIG to the car and base. Tamiya Simca 1/35th scale, with Master Box Figures and some Tamiya German accessories, as well as Bronco Luggage set, and some Euro [...]

1/35 Panther G by Tamiya

Designed as a response to the Russian T-34, the Panther was considered by many to be the finest tank of WWII. Although it experienced significant teething problems in its earlier renditions, it was fine tuned into a dependable well [...]

1/48 Tamiya Do-335

This is a buddy build with my good friend and master modeler, Rusty Rhea. He built the interior and landing gear, while i did the major structure and painting. Rusty spent 19 hours just on the seat, and 11 on the control yoke! The idea [...]
