Tamiya has knocked this kit out of the water!

I had a blast putting this kit together. Even though the accessory parts are pretty, for a 1/35 scale model, the detail is amazing.

I could have done a little better with the two tone paint job, but all in all, I think I can even tolerate it.

I would recommend taking your time with this kit and letting the cement completely dry before assembling main components.

This is an inside look before I secured the canopy to the boat.

I could have done a better job on the pilot’s panel, but to be fair I was like half in the bag.

Canopy is secured.

I could not be happier with this kit. Tamiya makes quality models I have to admit.

I used some twine that looked like rope for back in the time.
