Probably fire this one off on April 2021.
Yes. It's a new issue of a kit tooled in 63.

I just picked up two kits in Florida that qualify here. I'll post them up later...

April, Hmmm :hmm:
I might be able to jump in depending......
I got this a couple years ago. I believe it's Tamiya's 7th kit. The decals are crap but I may be able to use 1/48 decals, or just paint the Hinomarus myself and maybe even the Arrow. 1964 vintage.

Building a kit from your stash is like cutting the head off a Hydra, two more take it’s place.

Keep gathering your kits. This one may be delayed until summer or fall. A lot of group builds already going on for now, plus your regularly scheduled programming.

I was hoping to dig into these soon.

Still trying to find a Hawker for the other Group Build.

Ok, so how's this,,,,,,

Looking at Scalemates this was released in 1959, and it appears that there was only ever one release?
