There are a few issues with this kit! 1) The kit canopy is very bad with tons of distortion molded in. All my sanding/polishing went for naught. I thought I could improve it, but alas, after further review, it's still bad. 2) The cockpit framing is too thick, and you need to thin it down by about 50% in thickness or the fuselage will not close correctly. And then you will have horrendous fit issues with the radiator intakes, canopy width, and top and bottom cowling. Get the fuselage closed correctly and all the fit problems will vanish and you won't need a drop of putty. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Andrew Maverick Taylor Posted May 20, 2019 Share Posted May 20, 2019 (edited) Once you go Tamiya, you don’t go back. Built one in 5 Days as a bet with a friend, probably averaged 5 hours a night after work. I had thought about getting this Revell kit before the Tamiya one mainly due to with the cost. The extra cost of the Tamiya is nothing based on the detail and buildability of the kit. Edited May 20, 2019 by Andrew Maverick Taylor Quote Link to post Share on other sites
