Thanks!

Nice review Rowan, I did say you’d like it

Now to see it built

Great review Rowan, and being a Tamiya kit it is bound to be easy to build.
I would love to see you tackle this one next, after your two other car builds.

Very nice review Rowan, looking forward to following the build on this one whenever you get it to the bench!

Cheers, D

Cheers guys

@ Luciano - yep, you were quite right!

I've got a bunch of stuff I need to work on before tackling this, but it really does look like it'll be a fun build.

All the best

Rowan

Rowan,
Another one of your outstanding reviews.

Tamiya really does quite a nice job on their curbside kits. I sure wish that other manufactures, specifically Hasegawa would follow suit, as they curbside kits are certainly what I'd call on the spartan side at best.

I'm pretty sure that a lot of the aircraft guys/gals are wondering why Tamiya pre-cuts the masks for their car kits, but you have to cut your own out in their aircraft kits.

I had to chuckle when you saw when Tamiya actually made the molds. That a new kit compared to my just completed Tamiya Porsche 956 that was molded in 1984. And like I said, it's still up to today's standards and then some.

Yes - Tamiya's moulds for this one have certainly stood the test of time brilliantly. Better, in fact, than those of the Hasegawa Miura which is a few years younger. While that's still very good for the most part, there are signs of wear in a few spots.

All the best

Rowan

Rowan,
Funny you should bring that up. My lovely wife says I've got more then a few worn parts these days
