Tamiya 1/72 F4D-1

Post by jeaton01 »

Finally drug this one out, it is going pretty well. Fit is great, but I'm wondering about the decals, the instrument panel decal was difficult to get to release from the paper. Going to do a Marine scheme. I hope.

ooooh that IP experience doesn't bode well for decals :sad:

No pics showing up for me though so I'm missing the good stuff :giggles:

Wow. They really did just scale down the 1/48 kit. How was the fit?

I think I'm working hard at the bench to avoid that Hasegawa B-47 staring at me on the bench.
