- Chairman of Tamiya’s board dies, 18 July 2025
Quoted from Tamiya’s social media “Our company's Chairman of the Board, Shunsaku Tamiya, passed away on July 18, 2025, at the age of 90 We hereby express our deep gratitude for the kindness shown to him during his lifetime and respectfully inform you of his passing
- F-14D - Tamiya. . . but wrong scale. . . 1 72
A new tooled Tamiya F-14A in 1 32 scale would be easy for them to scale up the 1 48 scale kit A 1 32 two seat F-16 would also be great If they did the F-14A my modelling budget for the year would be gone in one order as I'd need about three of them
- Review of the 1 48 Lancaster on The Modeling News
If ever I was going to build a 1 48 heavy bomber, it's the Lancaster (I never liked the Tamiya kit I don't know why ) I have the cockpit kit It will be nice to show them together I have an idea of a wooden display base Thanks mate Edited March 11, 2021 by mpk mozart 1
- 1 16 Leopard 2 A7V from Das Werk
And Tamiya has announce they're updating their 1 16 Leopard 2 kit to the A7 version But it's the full option RC version so easily over $1K The original release was $1300 CAD
- Mixing FS16473 - General Discussion - Large Scale Planes
It's a mix of Tamiya XF-23 Light Blue, 1 part: XF-66 Light Grey, 2 parts: and XF-1 White, 14 parts The mix I found from the IPMS site said 23:1, 66:2, and 1:7 but Tamiya's idea of Light Grey isn't very light This ratio looked way too dark for me so I kept adding white until it looked right A better mix would be only 1 part XF-66 to 7 parts
- Tamiya Acrylic paint to X-20 thinner ratio - Painting Finishing . . .
50 50 is my default go-to thinning ratio for most paint and thinner combinations, and is a good place to start You can then vary it from there, depending on the materials at hand and what you're trying to achieve If you can, use Mr Color Thinner or Tamiya lacquer thinner instead of X-20A, as they produce much finer results However, if fumes and odours are still an issue, X-20A is at least
- 1 350 CVN-78 Gerald R. Ford from Trumpeter
I saw that Trumpeter are releasing what seems to be a quite detailed kit of CNV-78 in 1 350 - until they get their act together and release a 1 200 modern Aircraft Carrier this could fill the gap I fondly remember building the Tamiya Enterprise kit when I was much younger Really impressive mod
- F-35 Colors - General Discussion - Large Scale Planes
With all of the excitement with the new Tamiya F-35 kit, I’ve been looking into the colors Specifically FS36170
