DarrenH Posted December 29, 2016 Share Posted December 29, 2016 Got my pair yesterday in Osaka. Typical Tamiya very clean and sharp. Nice cockpit and well worth the 2500 Yen.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plasto Posted January 11, 2017 Share Posted January 11, 2017 My 'Tony' has arrived... Agree on the cockpit very nicely done. The whole kit is superb at first look. Cheers Plasto Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure about that, while the decals don't look too bad ( the the image is of low quality so it's hard to tell how good they are ), the plating puts me off; how do you put it together without needing to paint over seems?

ckw Posted May 15, 2021 Share Posted May 15, 2021 I remember a company back in the 70's (Hawk?) which produced plated kits. With my skills at the time I could never get a clean seam - doubt I could now! I had a P-47 and possibly an F-5. 1/48th IIRC Cheers Colin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
