Behold Shogun !! Tamiya 1/32 F-4EJ Kai


Recommended Posts

Last year I had a business trip to Japan. After office hours I paid numerous visits to Akihabara, the hobby capital of Tokyo. I felt like a mosquito flying over a nude camp and flew low especially on large scale Tamiyas, many details and decal sets a modeleler probably would not find anywhere else than Japan. If you are a modeling hobbyist and aviation fan, Akihabara is the place you may wish to be buried when you're dead :):)

 

Here is the first model of that shopping spree off my workbench, a Tamiya F-4EJ Kai in 32nd scale, wearing a great scheme (decals of which however are quite un-Japanese and come from Zotz). I added a PE cockpit set and had some riveting with a riveting tool. Decals were fun to apply, but stencils are another story. Ahh, I missed Russian aircraft with only red stars and a number on the nose :) 

 

I still have a few more Japanese big birds on the bench, awaiting take off sometime soon. I liked how this Phantom turned out and I hope you like it, too. Any comments more than welcome, as always.

 

Cheers

Speedy

Not only a great model. But you're right it's modelling nirvana.
