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.
