My first Tamiya build...
Posted by MrDave on Saturday, December 22, 2018 5:23 PM

I started off coming back into this hobby with a couple of Revell builds.  These I gave to my grandson.  This model was a joy to build.  When applying masking tape to the smoked version canopy, I cracked it.  So I had to use the clear version.

This build has ended up being a gift to a friend of mine whose is retiring this month from McEntire ANG Base where he spent 31 years as a mechanic on the F-16 Fighting Falcon.

I wanted to try my hand at applying a wash to bring out the detail but time was of the essence.

Your comments are welcome.  I'm still experimenting with photographing my models.

Thanks.

Building a kit from your stash is like cutting a head off a Hydra, two more take it's place.

Looks really nice. Every Tamiya I have built so far has been a joy to build.
