Picked up a Special Hobby Yak-3 just now for $36.74 + s/h. Thanks.

I love to see older kits built to a high standard. Well done.

They are very much hit or miss, imo. I purchased the early Luftwaffe set and absolutely loved them. My experience with early USN set, otoh, was similar to nspreitler's.

Tamiya A6M5/5A: 61103 " A6M3/3A: 61108 Note that Tamiya's A6M2 (61016) is an old tool dating back to the 70's. Nice kit, but Hasegawa's offerings are heads and shoulders above it for detail and fit.

Nuts. That's the one I have. Thanks anyway.

Hi. There have been several different Weekend editions of that Yak-3 released. Which one are you offering?

Items arrived quickly and were exactly as described. Can't ask for more than that.

I would be interested in the following: Tamiya 1/48 scale F4U-1D $16.00 boxed is still shrinked wrapped Tamiya 1/48 scale P-47D Razorback $26.00 Tamiya 1/48 scale P-47D bubble. Interior parts base painted DDG and off sprue. $16.00

Super fast shipment and item exactly as described. Thanks, dude.

Another option worth considering is AK Interactive's IJN acrylic set. A review: http://www.partworkmodels.co.uk/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=173&t=7242

That's closer, imo. Here's a Fine Molds A6M2 that was painted with White Ensign Colourcoats Mitsubishi Zero Grey-Green. http://www.aviationofjapan.com/2015/09/zbyszek-malickis-172-a6m2.html

I'm not very familiar with Humbrol paints, but just based on a quick internet search I would say that 90 is far too green.
