Tamiya scale model kits

Tamiya 1:48 P-51D-10-NA

I've been hoarding this kit since the time it was probably the best 1:48 Mustang. Now we have modern new kits like Airfix and Eduard, so I figured I'd better build it before it becomes irrelevant. I had also picked up a couple of [...]

Tamiya P-47D Thunderbolt, 1/48

This model from Tamiya is great. Has a lot of parts and decals to build two versions. I bought an Eduard PE to give more detail to the cockpit, landing gear, fuel tank and motor. The paint took me some time. I had to put a black primer and [...]

Eduard 1/48 Focke-Wulf FW-190A-5 "Minke & Pinke".

Eduard ProfiPack #82149 1/48 Focke-Wulf FW-190A-5. Depicts the aircraft of Hans Philipp, who named it "Minke & Pinke" after his two Daschunds. Lieutenant Colonel Hans Philipp (17 March 1917 – 8 October 1943) was a German [...]

P-47D: "Sleepy Jean the 3rd"

Hey All. My latest completion. Tamiya, 1/48, P-47D Bubbletop. Built OOB but with Meteor Productions PYN-up decals, markings of P47D-28-RA of the 395 FS/368 FG, “Sleepy Jean the 3rd”. This was my first Tamiya P-47 kit and a pleasure to [...]

1/32 Tamiya P-51D Mustang 'Daisy Mae'

For sheer looks and glamour in the display case it's hard to beat a Mustang. In this case an ETO version assigned to one Lt Allen K Abner, a Block 10 variant of the venerable P-51 built in Inglewood, California. I had no idea who 'Daisy [...]

Königstiger Ostfront Tamiya Old Mould 1/35

Built just for fun,OOB...

1/32 Tamiya Supermarine Spitfire Mk XVIe

This is the Tamiya Mk XVIe kit. A nice kit but I had a few troubles with the cannon inserts and making the cowlings fit. Otherwise an enjoyable build. Painted with Mr Color paints and added HGW belts and some wheels. Otherwise out of the [...]

Here´s my dad´s newest model. Tamiya kit, Eduard seatbelts, EZ line for brake lines and antenna wires, painted with a blue-gray selfmix /Tamiya XF-18 + XF-2) and Gunze H51 Light Gull Grey. Wanted to use HGW wet transfers. My dad tried [...]

Eduard 1/48 P-39N Airacobra

Should credit Tom Cleaver's GB titled Build 'Em or Bin 'Em for helping me get the old Mojo juices flowing again. I've had little or no time at the bench for several months but hopefully that will now change. Started this kit long ago as [...]

Aichi M6A1 “Seiran” K6-15 日本海軍 (Tamiya 1/72)

Tamiya 1/72 excellent kit of this unique airplane. I tried to represent a prototype that was over painted after the Japanese lost they air superiority and the orange was too much of a target, if you know what I mean. The tail code is [...]
