The Kit

I open the box and what do I find? 6 crisply molded sprues, one of them an additional clear fuselage sprue. Nose-weights (no tail sitters this time)- Semi-transparent decals that are darker to allow for light passing through them, with options for 4 different aircraft. And lastly Easy to-the-point instructions. The kit is up to Tamiya's usual standards with good detail and inscribed panel lines.

The Clear Idea

An excellent idea for a clear fuselage, because you dont have to remove the rear half of it to see the engine! Although, here is where the only visible pre-construction fault lies. Due to the parts being clear, you can see the injection marks, which is a shame because in every other aspect the kit is great. You may be able to reduce their obviousness by using a hobby knife to scrape off the protuding flash from the inside of the parts. Overall it is and excellent kit and worthy of anyone's time.
