Yep, as I thought, it seems to be based on their bigger ones. Not quite as fine as the Fine Molds one, but certainly a cut above the Airfix and Hasegawa offerings. I can see myself picking one up when they make it over here. Jen. P.S. Love the random pic of Diamond Head at the end of that post

Looks very nice though there are a surprising number of injection pin marks for a Tamiya kit. Interesting that Tamiya are apparently following Airfix's example with the P-40 by thinning the fuselage sidewalls around the cockpit and producing sidewall detail in relief. Interesting and instructive to see a new Tamiya 1/72 offering being subjected to the same harsh macro-zoom scrutiny that seems to get Airfix offerings routinely panned on a certain other website. |

Never let a lack of actual kit get in the way of an opinion - someone texted me to say they read a claim on a web site that the non-existant Italeri 1/48 Merlin was better than the Airfix kit that hasn't even been released yet! |

Bring it on. Looking forward to this immensely, even in 1/72nd. I think my Zero fetish may be getting out of control Rich |
