Hey everybody. This is my 5th model
that I've made so far, it's my first 1/32 scale bird that I've have done.
It's not impressive, but it's the best I've made so far in my opinion :). The kit is also
the first Tamiya kit I've done, it was given to me as a present for Christmas a
couple of years back and I thought I'd try making a big 1/32 bird. It took 2
years to complete (on and off building) cause I was busy and it was completed
about March this year. But I didn't really have time to sit down and post
it on ARC, but...well here it is anyway haha..

Ok I remembered I was pretty impressed with the kit
itself, it was very detailed in my opinion, except for the cockpit. I didn't really have a bone to pick with the rest
of the overall kit. I'd give it a rating of 8.5/10. The other issues
I had with
this kit was the fit issues, other than that it was fine. There was minimal
weathering done, I only preshaded the panel lines with a marker before spraying
it, also, the kit was built OOB, nothing was changed. I also tried out the remove
before flight tags that came with the kit, it was of fairly good quality I must
say and they were quite easy to put on. I always thought planes always looked more
realistic with the tags on, and also, it adds more colour to the
plane. Decals used were also from the box.
This was the first
time I also tried making a base for it. It was basically a photo frame and the
tarmac was made from cardboard. I was satisfied overall with how the model turned
out and hope to do more 1/32 models in the future. If you have any questions or
comments, feel free to contact me, I go by 'Zosh" in the forums. Once again
thank you for reading and happy modeling :) cheers.
