Honda CBR 1000 RR-R Fireblade SP
Was going to steal stuff about this bike off the web bit @chinesegeorge George pretty much said it already in his recent headline post about his Fireblade.
I choose to go with the Matte Pearl Morion Black finish. Painted with Tamiya’s [...]
Comet Tamiya 1:35
Another great kit from Tamiya. As with his all of their newer kits, this one is essentially flawless. Similar to other recent Tamiya kits, the crew figures in this kit are a real step above what Tamiya produced in the past. It was a fun [...]
Toyota TS050 Race car with an A6M5 feel
I am an airplane guy. I joined a group build that had as its theme motor sports. I had picked up this Tamiya kit a few months ago with the intent of giving it a Japanese fighter feel.
The main color is IJN Dark Green. I shot the hood in [...]
1:48 Tamiya F4U-1D Corsair, VF-84, White 167 – Jim Sullivan GB

Tamiya 1/35 LRDG Command Car
The gem of Tamiya's armor gems.
Honda Fireblade Limited Edition
Hi everyone, this is the standard Tamiya 1/12 Honda Fireblade kit with the addition of an after market transfer (decal) set.
Honda decided to market a limited edition of their super bike to recognise the 100th entry of their rider, John [...]
PBR
When I was a kid, my nextdoor neighbor, several years my elder, went into the Navy. He wound up in the Riverine force. He was on either a Swift or a PBR.
When Tamiya came out with their PBR, I jumped at the chance to build it. I thought [...]
Jim Sullivan Memorial Build, F2A Buffalo
Hi All,
This is my first contribution to the Mr. Jim Sullivan Memorial Group Build. I did not know Jim personally but have read many of his books and enjoyed seeing his models here on iModeler. His talents will be missed. I hope my [...]
