Welcome to Scale Modelling Now’s Tamiya Tank and Armour reviews – your ultimate destination for in-depth, hands-on completed build reviews from the world of precision scale modelling.
If you’re passionate about Tamiya tanks, especially in the iconic 1:35 scale, you’re in the right place. On this page you’ll find a rich collection of meticulous build reports featuring top-tier kits from Tamiya, each one documented from sprue to varnish, offering insight into construction challenges, painting techniques and weathering methods that bring these miniature armoured beasts to life.
The 1:35 scale – often regarded as the gold standard for armour modelling – allows for impressive levels of detail while still being manageable in size. That’s precisely why Tamiya’s 1:35-scale tank range remains a go-to choice for both seasoned modellers and ambitious newcomers alike. Whether it’s a legendary Sherman, a formidable Tiger or a lesser-known variant, each model is an opportunity to learn and be inspired. We’ve featured a range of builds from WWII classics to modern armour, each carefully photographed and accompanied by commentary on decals, construction accuracy and final presentation.
