Great plane

By: jeremy.s.michels1

I have built tons of Tamiya kits and have never had an issue with them. The instructions are always clear and easy to follow and usually provide tips that can help improve the kit. There was no flash on the parts and everything fit together like it should. The cockpit detailing was ok. The instrument panel was a decal, and there were some minor details on the walls. An ambitious modeler should be able to improve on the kit and super detail everything to really set it apart from other planes. I'd recommend this kit to anyone as it went together without any problems and creates a pretty nice plane when finished.

Excellent kit! Parts all fit well. The cockpit detail is good, and easy to do well for beginners and moderate builders. Recommend gluing engine cowling on after you have decided on camouflage. Good kit to develop skills on.
