Tamiya scale model kits

Nakajima Type 11, Early production (Irving), Tamiya 1/48

Okay, I must admit I had forgotten what Tamiya stands for. Abundance of detail, no flash, perfect fit (I didn't use any glue for the landing gear...). I used Eduard's p.e. set, a value for money set that provides lots of extra details. I [...]

Telefonica MoviStar Suzuki RGV-Γ '01Tamiya 1/12

Happy New Year everyone! Here is a kit I completed sometime around 2005 or 2006. I don't really watch MotoGP or any other motorcycle racing, but I was somehow interested in this Tamiya kit. It is the only motorcycle I have ever built so [...]

Tamiya 1/48 P-47M

Hello! This is my first finished project this year, the very well known and praised Tamiya P-47 1/48 kit. Nothing to add, really, a superb kit. Only some small stencils did not behave well and...disintegrated. C'est la vie! Since these [...]

2020... A productive one for me...

First is Tamiya's "Betty", the last for the year, completed (as if ever a model is really done) on 12/30. 🙂 The rest of the models all posted here before. Hope no one minds my throwing in a couple of woodworking projects. [...]

My 2020 builds…

2020 was an odd one for me. After 33 years, my airline job succumbed to the virus and I decided to retire rather than wait it out or take a furlough / layoff and risk losing my benefits. I second guessed that decision for quite a while, [...]
