One thing still missing in 1/48 is modern military vehicles. There are Humvees at the moment, but until then the 1/35 scale remains the only choice for modern tanks. But what makes 1/48 better is finished models as Tamiya has not made any completed vehicles for the 1/35 masterwork collection in years.
You can pick up "lost" parts by mounting a piece of nylon stocking (pulled tightly and held in place by using rubber bands) over the end of a vacuum cleaner. Just move the mouth piece of the vacuum cleaner over the suspected area that you think the part may be lying with the sucktion set to "high".
i bought the TIGER I today (early production) so will be building that as my first project, my second project is revell's 1:144 type VII C uboat which i will be doing it on the design of U96, wil be painting the TIGER I in german grey like tamiya had it...
I use Tamiya TS and AS spray cans to paint my Tiger I. Is it okay to drybrush and make a wash with Tamiya Acrylics on my model? Also can I seal it with future floor polish befor I wash and drybrush? Tamiya spray cans are laquer paint.
It´s the "perfect" scale, not too big but still big enough for plenty of visible detail (parts easier to hold on to, too)! -My all time favorite scale!!! :-)
WOW! A dream come true, perfect 1/48 scale armor models to go with our hard built 1/48 scale airplanes. 1/48 it's my favorite scale and Tamiya my favorite brand.
I built 25 of this 1:48 scale so far, and have not found a single part that did not "fit in" correctly...so yes, I am very impressed with tamiya's superb high quality indeed:)
i just got the Stug III Aust.G today and it looks like a nice clean kit.

i'm a begginer, i think i'll go for 1/48 models,
for me they look cool, and occupy less space.
thanks tamiya, hope build more 1/48 tank series.

1/48 Scale is an excellent compromise and will one day overtake 1/35. Here's why:
1) 1/48 takes up less space than 1/35
2) 1/48 is less expensive then 1/35
3) 1/48 is equal to Railroad O Gauge for endless diorama possibilities
4) 1/48 is the most popular scale for model aircraft and are complemented by 1/48 AFV's.
5) 1/48 is more attractive to entry-level modelers due to their ease of assembly and lower cost.
6) Tamiya set the standard with 1/35 - they will set a new one with 1/48.

1/48 is the best but it's hard to find different model except for planes...
If you want more choice take 1/35

No acurate MODERN tanks in this scale. You'd need to go to 1/72 or 1/35 for that.

Keep on losing the tiny parts...no fun, takes the fun out of modelling.

I find 1/35 is too big, more choice but too big, I like 1/72 but a bit fiddly.
politirel 2 years ago
I think so to
but 1/72 is only in foreign
so 1/45 is a best

but 1/72 loses detail. no offense but 1/35 is the most practical for tanks
