bjohns5 Posted October 23, 2007 Share Posted October 23, 2007 That is a nice bit of engineering. I'm looking forward to getting one. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Shawn C. Posted October 23, 2007 Share Posted October 23, 2007 I'm gonna be all over that like white on rice. Thanks for posting the link! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Patrick_Nevin Posted October 23, 2007 Share Posted October 23, 2007 Has that been done before? The clear part insertion into the fuselage? "This innovation will make aligning the canopy, hence the wing and landing gear an easier and more accurate assembly for this particular subject AND may as well revolutionize the way we assemble cockpit enclosures and other transparencies in a very profound manner…" Pretty cool really...

ron Posted October 23, 2007 Share Posted October 23, 2007 I'm gonna be all over that like white on rice. Thanks for posting the link! Isn't the correct term, "like a fat kid on a Smarty?" Looks like a pretty good kit altough the subject doesn't do much to excite me? oh well. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
is it windy yet? Posted October 23, 2007 Share Posted October 23, 2007 I'll be waiting for this kit. I'm no luft nut, but it's still a neat aircraft, and it does say Tamiya on the box. Ron Quote Link to post Share on other sites
smithery Posted October 23, 2007 Author Share Posted October 23, 2007 Has that been done before? The clear part insertion into the fuselage? Gundam has been doing it for years actually. Isn't the correct term, "like a fat kid on a Smarty?" :D Take your pick: Like Oprah on a ham. Like a fat kid on a cake. Like Sabre on a pound of packing peanuts. Like Steve Filak on a "That's All Folks" picture. Like Dan's Monkey on a bottle of banana brew. Like an ARCer on a Tweet. Like smithery on a pound of bacon. I could go on.................but I won't..........................maybe......................sorta................. ......kind of..................... :D Quote Link to post Share on other sites
is it windy yet? Posted October 24, 2007 Share Posted October 24, 2007 It's actually Smartie. Ron Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ron Posted October 24, 2007 Share Posted October 24, 2007 It's actually Smartie.Ron Ron, you are correct! I didn't notice my mistake Ron Quote Link to post Share on other sites
silver1 Posted October 24, 2007 Share Posted October 24, 2007 Maybe Tamiya wasn't worried about a crowd pleaser for their 100th release. Maybe they were looking for a kit to showcase how far they have come in molding technology. I want one. Or two. Ed Quote Link to post Share on other sites
David Walker Posted October 24, 2007 Share Posted October 24, 2007 Maybe they were looking for a kit to showcase how far they have come in molding technology. I've been wondering about that too. Hopefully some of the stuff that's being used with this kit will show up in future releases. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
thom Posted October 24, 2007 Share Posted October 24, 2007 I've never wanted to build a Storch before (hell, I'd hardly heard of it until a few months back!), but with the release of that kit I'm now quite keen, simply because it looks so fantastically engineered that it ought to be a joy to build. Well done to Tamiya for not making the century kit something with a 0, 1 and 9 in the name in no particular order... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
