Tamiya scale model kits

Chieftain Berlin Brigade Camouflage Masks

For those of you who are interested in doing this complicated camouflage scheme, here is the web address of the company that makes them. The set is designed around the Takom Mk10, but with some adaptation works just as well on the Mk5, so [...]

TAMIYA 1/35th CHIEFTAIN TANK

Building this for a friend, so it's going to be OOB. Slight weathering will be applied and, as i'm new to airbrushing, the finish could be "interesting" to say the least. Until this is finished, the "Memphis Belle" has [...]

1/48 Tamiya Focke-Wulf FW-190F-8

I haven't built one of these in awhile, so I decided to just relax and have some fun with it. Aside from a little putty around the area where the cowling meets the wings' leading edge, this kit goes together very well. The markings are for [...]

Revell 1/144 Airbus A320 Neo.

I have been building this in the background as a wee surprise for a friend who was working at Turnhouse. She was made redundant during the first lockdown but has grown to love Civilian Airlines and is hoping that she will get back there [...]

Last Hope...1/48 Heinkel He162A-2 Salamander/Spatz, 1./JG1

Built in 2016. One of the weapon systems towards the end of the war that was intended to bring the change. Has some connection to our home region. About 30km away from our hometown there was a He162 underground facility in Hinterbrühl. [...]

1/32 Phantom

I ordered resin gunbays for my Thunderbolt project and decided to build a phantom. The Revell 1/32 phantom I started last year had a lot of fitting problems so I put it aside. This time I tried building the Tamiya one and loved everything [...]

Spitfire Mk V – Operation Starkey

This project was a long time coming as work and family commitments must trump modelling time. Nevertheless, here is my 1/48 Mk V spit from Tamiya, finished at last! Operation Starkey was a ruse, and part of a larger deception plan carried [...]

1/48 Tamiya A6M3 Model 32 Hamp

I think this is my fourth build for The Empire of Japan Group. Nice kit for being so old but it does lack the detail of the newer kits. I decided to do the field applied paint scheme to change it up a bit and it was a lot of fun. Painted [...]

Honved...1/48 Krupp Protze with 3,7cm Pak, Hungarian Army

Next one finished. One of my dad´s excursions to the 1/48 armour world. To avoid the usual single grey look, I searched for something different. Came across the 1/35 Bronco kit wich included a 3-tone prewar and a 3-tone Hungarian scheme. [...]

Road and Track

I built the track version from the Revell kit right out of the box. Sometime later I tackled the Tamiya kit, also out of the box. Both projects were painted with Tamiya rattle cans, with the road car done in metallic Orange. The Revell [...]
