Questions & Answers

Model kits come with bombs or rockets for the plane, don't they?

A bomb is not present in it. I am a - In the 38F/G kit, there are two Lockheed 150 gallon drop tanks for the Yamamoyo raid, and a Lockheed 300 gallon for the mission (one 150 and one 300). I am a - It has the same configuration as the 38H kit. The bombs will not go off. However, the underwing pylons are designed to accept any 500 or 1000 lb bomb.

If you want to know what you should do, just ask There are 38 results in the finer model, the f/g or the h, I have a model of the academy, looking forward to making a Tamiya ?

There are a lot of similarities between them all. There are minor differences between the two. I consider this model to be one of the better ones I've It is a great fit

I need to know what paint colors to use. This model should not be too difficult. What experience do you have?

To begin with, you will need olive drab and medium gray as the primary It would be best to have aluminum wheel wells. While tires could be black, they could also look better if they were rubber-colored. There is a lot you can do to the cockpit, but it is not necessary if you plan to have a cemented cockpit. A beginner should find the fit to be excellent and there is an excellent warranty. If you glue the wheel wells into the booms before adding the landing gear supports, you should wait until the end rather than adding them first. Although they are fragile, they can be easily set up at a later time with the help of tweezers. There may be a real bummer for beginners when it comes to the sharktooth decals. Be sure to use a softener like micro sol and micro set. Make sure that plenty of gloss coat is applied underneath for best The floor polish I use for this, as well as the dipping canopies, is pledge.

The landing gear can be retracted. Could it be built that way?

Although I have not built this kit yet, I see no reason why I shouldn't be able to. Putting cement on the landing gear doors is the simplest solution. As a project, it would need to be built from It may be necessary to build the landing gear so that it can be configured in both the down and locked positions as well as the in-flight I wish you the best of luck with this excellent

This kit is wonderful

5/5

I love it. It took me about three hours to assemble this kit, and I am just about to paint it. There are almost no flaws in the design of this kit. In many cases, there's no need for glue at all. It was additionally important to note that the kit did not contain any gaps or seams to be filled. You would know how rare it is to build a vehicular model if you had ever built one. The cons are There are a few issues with the decals. They are too thick and do not match the quality of the other pieces As a result of the ease and quality of this kit, some of my patience for working on lesser kits may have been lost. A few notes In the fuselage, there are several holes that need to be drilled. It is imperative to do that before you put the wings This kit is considered to be one of the GOAT's by some reviewers. To be honest, I am inclined to agree with you. This kit is beautiful.

My favorite Tamiya model and perhaps the easiest to build out of many that I have built over the past few years is this P-51 Mustang

5/5

Having to learn fine panel lines and perfect fittings was a real challenge, but it was worth it as it was as close to what I had seen in person. I would rate it a 10 out of 10. Worth every penny.

A new Taymia build

5/5

Ho hum. I think this is one of the best fitting models I have constructed As in the tradition of Taymia, the cockpit is stunning as well as the landing gear bays. In my opinion, it would be better to build it again before giving it as a gift.

The kit is very nice

5/5

I like the way this one builds up. Although there is no upgrade, the fit and end result are both good. Supports are to be assembled before main boys are assembled, according to the instructions for main landing gear Having said that, I think it would be best to wait since they need to be masked. A cockpit this impressive and detailed is sure to please even the most demanding of customers. The Tamiya team wins again.

This is fantastic

5/5

A P-model is the best model if you want one There are 38 items that you can buy, this is one of them. When it comes to Tamiya, you can't go wrong.
