Tamiya scale model kits

Tamiya MiG-15bis, 1:48

Found this kit at a yard sale intact and way cheap! older kit, but as all Tamiya's went together extremely well. Had to buy new decals, the kits decals were faded and cracked. Thanks 🙂

Advance on Kiev

Not much to say here really, tells its own story. -The bridge is from Mirage models, is basic but effective for what I wanted. -Barge is the old Verlinden kit that looks quite cool when put together. -Flak 38 is Dragon. -Kettenkraftrad is [...]

Tamiya Sturmtiger 38cm Assault Mortar 1/35

Hi, this is a great model from Tamiya. I tried to make it look old and used. I also attached a PE parts in the back and added an engine from tamiya also. Hope you like it. Have a great one everyone

A Christmas Present

Last year's Christmas went the usual way around here, with the standard "what would you like for Christmas" being asked by my wife. My normal response is pretty noncommittal, but this time around I had a plan! Tamiya's P-38F/G [...]

1/35 KV-1 1941 Model Initial Production

Tamiya 1/35 scale kit Except for the wires and antennae, I used only the contents of the kit. It was a wonderful kit, not only for the richness of the sculptural expression of each part, but also for the enjoyment of assembling it. This [...]

M-48A3 1/35 Tamiya

Simple and cheap kit. Small amound off putty The model painted with Gunze and AK colours and Winsor Galleria varnish. I recommend the model to anyone who wants a simle but beatiful model at least in my thoughts. hehe

1/35th Panther Ausf A - Kursk

not my greatest ever build. paint scheme ruined a bit by the over zealous use of a bleaching filter which drained the colour out of it. Shame really, i enjoyed building it up until that. This is the much maligned, but very enjoyable [...]

Tamiya P-38H Lightning 1/48

In a great September 14, 2020 iModeler review of this kit Tom Cleaver said "The kit is a marvel of production design" that successfully deals with traditional shortcomings of P-38 kits and is “modeler-friendly.” I couldn't [...]
