Tamiya scale model kits

Tamiya Spitfire Mk.IX. 1/32nd. scale.

As much as I love Spitfires, this one took me rather a long time; six month, give or take & I completed a few others while I was having a break. Lovely detail & fit & absolutely spot on for shape & proportion. I kept the [...]

1:48 scale Hobby Boss F4F-3, “Wildcat”

Remember that F4F-3 I saw in the hobby shop after I finished converting the Tamiya F4F-4 to a -3? Well, I bought one and decided to see how it stacked up against the Tamiya kit. In my opinion, Tamiya is the better kit. Even though Hobby [...]

Okay, ya forced my hand, here's my addtion to the Wildcat collection.

I used the Tamiya kit with the Just Plane Stuff -3 conversion. Unlike some of them sold mine was in good shape with no major problems. I did sand down the flotation bag covers on the wings which stood a little to high. It's a pretty [...]

Tamiya F4F-4, converted to an F4F-3, “Wildcat”

Keeping the "Wildcat" thing going... I really wanted to add an F4F-3 to the collection and since there was none out there, finally decided to convert Tamiya's outstanding F4F-4. Overall it was not such a hard thing to [...]

Tamiya, 1:48 scale F4F-4, converted to an FM-1, "Wildcat"

Another of my favorite aircraft to model, Grumman's F4F, "Wildcat" and any of it's variations. I won't go into a long diatribe of how good the Tamiya F4F is, If you've built one you already know that. If you have NOT...please [...]

The Hobby Boss 1/72 F4F-4 Wildcat / Martlet Mk.V

The Hobby Boss 1/72 Grumman F4F-4 Wildcat, "Easy Assemble Authentic Kit". I got this as a christmas gift from my in-laws back in 2008 & though I don't normally do 1/72 scale I thought it would be a simple project to get [...]

Tamiya 1/48 Grumman F4F-4 Wildcat

Seeing as we're having a bit of a Wildcat theme going on here I thought I'd post my efforts as well. As has been written before the Tamiya Wildcat is a great kit to build. Pretty straightforward in construction, the only fiddly bit I [...]
