                        Thank you Uncle Jay Jay!  I am too.  Maybe Tamiya, can start another 1/32 kit?  Like a...

                        Fab You Luss. What an ambitious project and a perfect finish. Just see how much you have advanced, in this short time. You left me in your dust a long time ago.

                        Toshi- a lovely build- top notch ! I was wondering what your thoughts were on the kit as far as value for money goes ? Its over $100 to buy in Australia and I think I will have to be content with the old Revell 1/32 in my stash.

                        Thank you Wirraway!  

                        My thoughts are as such and this is just my humble opinion.  I've built the 1/32 Revell kit and although a great kit to build for it's time, it is an older mold.  

                        I actually donated that 1/32 Revell finished kit to the maintenance worker here at my condo.  He was extremely grateful and said his son would love it.

                        The Tamiya kit is light years away!  Well engineered, not a drop of putty used, excellelent fit and finish, and is extremely detailed.  To date, the most detailed OOB build ever.  Can it utilize AM items?  Sure, any kit can.  But this kit builds superbly OOB.  We only live once, GET IT!  

                        Toshi

                        P.S.  This is so cool, we're half way around the world from each other and can discuss the intricacies of a Tamiya 1/32 Mosquito.  

                        If anything at least purchase one of the top four Tamiya 1/32's.  Corsair (My favorite), Mustang, Zero, and Spitfire.

                        Toshi, I just saw this kit in a local HobbyTown store today. It looked great. However, I heard a loud crash when my jaw hit the floor at the price tag of well over $200!! Congrats on receiving as a gift! Awesome job as well! Mike

                        If my memory serves me right, Mrs. Toshi purchased this kit for $164.00 plus shipping and handling from eBay.  Check out eBay, there's deals on there all the time.  In my humble opinion, this kit is well worth it.  

                        This is Tamiya's flagship model.

                        Yes, there you go, $146.00!  That's even a better deal, you just need to wait awhile until they get their restock in.

                        I just knew you got an accident which resulted in physical sickness. I hope you'll get better each day. You have such a good wife. Apart from the B-25, she also bought you the 1/32 DeHavilland Mosquito. That's great!
