Here's a blast from the past. Tamiya have re-released a number of 1/100 kits I think date back from the 1970's. I believe like Hasegawa at the time Tamiya were making an effort to round off the scales.


  • Ilyushin IL-28 Beagle.

  • Mig 21 Fishbed.

  • Mirage IIIc

  • Me 262A and a Me 163B.

  • McDonnell Douglas Phantom ll F-4J.

  • Grumman A-6A Intruder.

  • LTV A-7A Corsair ll.

  • BAC Lightning F Mk.6.

  • Mig 19 Farmer.

  • Fiat G.91/R1/R4.


All priced at £2.50

Hi Tim, Thanks for the heads-up! These are great lil' models. Why I never thought to advertise these as NEWS I don't know considering I've built and reviewed several of these at Aeroscale. Tamiya had a substantial line of 1/100 modern jets and helicopters, the 1/100 Scale Mini-Jet Series of the early 1970''s. These are delightful little kits with recessed panel lines. I have yet to build a new 1/144 aeroplane so I cannot compare them, but these are as nice or better than many pre-CAD 1/72 kits. Most 1/100th scale aircraft are great lil' gems of a model. I have most of them and intend to present these little known and underappreciated kits as I build them: Tamiya 1/100 Boeing B-52D Stratofortress Tamiya 1/100 McDonnell-Douglas F-4E Phantom II Tamiya 1/100 McDonnell Douglas F-4K / M Tamiya 1/100 Lockheed F-104J/G Tamiya 1/100 Me 163 & Me 262 Set Tamiya 1/100 MiG 19 Farmer Tamiya 1/100 Republic F-105D Tamiya 1/100 Saab Draken Tamiya 1/100 Saab AJ 37 Viggen Tamiya 1/100 Sikorsky CH-54A Skycrane Other 1/100 Aircraft: F4B-4 Boeing 99 by AHM F-4E Phantom II by AHM Focke-Wulf 190 A-5 by Doyusha Fi 156 Storch by Faller F-4F Phantom II by Roskopf When able, I will post the A-4 Skyhawk, A-7 Corsair II, A-6 Intruder, F-8 Crusader, F-4E and F-4F Phantom, F-14 Tomcat, F-15 Eagle, F-100 Super Sabre, F-101 Voodoo, Kfir, Mirage III, Mirage F-1, MiG-21, UH-1 Huey, AH-1 Cobra, CH-54 Skycrane, H-3 Sea King, C-47, and any others I can find! Model railroaders and war gamers of OO [1/76] through TT [1/120] (including E and QO SCALE [1/96], OOC SCALE [1/100], 3mm SCALE and TM SCALE {a version of TT}[1/101.6]) desiring aircraft had, and still suffer, a relatively small field to choose from. AHM, Doyusha, Faller, Revell, Roskopf, Takara, Tamiya and others fill the void with a good selection of common and popular aircraft c.1930 - present. Enjoy!

Hi Fred Nice one. You seemed to have done an excellent job on the builds. I have enjoyed going through your reviews, I did not realise there were so many in the range. I must admit I am tempted and the prices I think are ridicously cheap [in the UK]. tim
