Review: A gem of a Tamiya kit... - Another awesome Tamiya kit. Just buy it....the fit and detail is excellent....etched panel lines and rivets....and nice clear parts as well. A lot if detail for such a small aircraft, and a significant effort to detail this throughout by Tamiya' 's people. 4 schemes as well, all were active a/c right at the end of war. This one is especially nice for Tamiya, which almost always makes a good kit to begin with. 7 days from Japan to Ontario CAN! SUPER FAST SHIP!!!!
Review: Parfait - Du tamiya , aucun soucie. Attention de prévoir la peinture et colle en plus. Et pour les vrai maquettiste prévoir les décalcomanies avec La crois gammé elle n’est pas présente dans le kit

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 良キットです
*by あ***ば on 20 April 2023*

航空機のプラモデルの2作目に選んだキットです。 戦車などのプラモデルはよく作るのですが航空機はほぼ素人の私でさえここまで作る事が出来ました。 パーツ点数も多くなく1/48にしてはコンパクトで完成後も場所を取らないのは助かります笑 デカールは数種類ありますのでバリエーション違いとしてあと2機ほど作ってみたいですね。 航空機模型素人の方でも楽しみながら作れると思います。 流石タミヤ製品！今回もストレスフリーで作る事が出来ました。
