[:0]......oops.......i've been with the hobby for nye on 18 + years and though i have a number of Tamiya, Accurate Miniatures, Eduard, Classic Airframes, Bandai, Dragon & Hasegawa kits.......i've worked on only 1 Hasegawa (P-38H) and though i've found the detail superlative......the engineering (fit) was atrocious.....
so, though i'm commenting.......i've no issues with Tamiya......yet.
.......
until i'd accumulated the skills necessary to be worthy of "top shelf" kit, i figured i'd stay with kits that would make me learn...............
after this much time modelling......you'd think i'd be ready by now.....huh.
