Built the Hasegawa F-16 kit and am currently building the 1/48 Tamiya F-16. Big T is a much better kit, but not as quick of a build as the Hasegawa offering. With the new Kinetic kits coming out I doubt I'll ever buy another Hase again expecting all the blocks to be covered.

Why Tamiya has not addressed the main complaint of their kits?
fulcrum1 replied to dai phan's topic in General Discussion
The Tamiya decals I have used worked very well. Granted, I've only built their newer kits. -
Cobb's hobby on Elk Grove Florin Rd in Elk Grove, CA. It was more of a picture frame shop with a model side hustle, but I enjoyed it as a kid!

LF: 1/48 Monogram C-47 or DC-3 Canopy

Thanks! I've tried them before and they don't seem to carry parts for out-of-production kits. I don't know how they stock parts for kits they produce again like the B-24D. -
Would you still build the ZM F-4 if you have the Tamiya F-4B?
fulcrum1 replied to Curt B's topic in Jet Modeling
Build both at the same time and write here about the experience! Tamiya is an easier build, but I really enjoy ZM kits and like to support the company. Just wish they included pilots with their kits! -
How was the show?

Look at their website/call before you go and plan accordingly. The Commander of that post is in a tough spot with the local community voicing their concerns because of the economic impact and the Pentagon taking a cautious approach after those sailors were killed a few years back. I imagine the Navy would want a permanent solution that takes time and resources to plan/build but reduces the risk associated with an open installation.

Great work! How would you rank the F-4 brands after building them?

I'd love Eduards to do a Falklands kit. The A-4B and the RF-4C get no love from Hase
