This is precisely why I am working on buying higher quality and larger 3D printers. Not for the model industry but for other things.

OK fast progress. The reviews that said this is the best Tamiya aircraft kit made were not kidding! The engineering and detail without having a massive number of small parts is truly amazing. A perfect stress free out of the box project. Even if you are not into Japanese WW2 aircraft this is worth picking up. Sort of sad I am going to close it all up and hide everything with a pilot. May pick up another to leave open. So enough with the sales pitch. Cockpit all done and ready to button up in one evening. Don't think I have ever done that before. Main assemblies ![]() Base colour ![]() Detail painting and small parts added [IMG]https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51088982856_0***0d9051_b.jpg[/IMG] Black tinted acrylic floor finish for depth ![]() Testors Dullcoat to bring it back down. Gauges dotted with Testors clear parts cement for gloss ![]() Perfect fit. ![]() Almost all will be invisible in a closed canopy and with a pilot but I will know it is there (and it makes pretty pictures) but it is only about 4 hours of work from start to finish so no time wasted ![]()

How you get all that done in just 4 hours is beyond me. lol. I think the only way I'd ever stray away from cars is if I ever get an airbrush (since I don't think it'll be easy to do paint schemes otherwise), and an actual room dedicated to models.

Yes I believe they still exist. Probably stupidly expensive now though.

Sounds to me like it's time for a battle to cull the fleet a bit. Unfortunately I don't think I could get the firecrackers and bottle rockets across the border.

Oh we can get them here anyway. I do have the high powered pellet gun. Could even break out the .303 and see what that did.
