This kit is without doubt the best kit ever produced and actually surpasses the Spitfire. Take a look at the video where one of Tamiya's designers (a Frenchman) describes some of the clever engineering incorporated into the kit.
Tamiya has again shown it is the industry leader with highly accurate and innovative kits but if you take a look at some of the model forums you'd be forgiven for thinking its got insurmountable problems!
There has been talk for example about the rivet detail being too heavy handed and more like the detail seen on Trumpeter's P-40 Tomahawk. Now that the kit has been released we can see that the detail is beautifully done and looks very scale. Some ppl in forums just like to play the fool and complain about a kit even before its been released and they are subsequently always shown to be wrong when we see the kit up close for ourselves.
Speaking of forums (hyperscale.com etc.) they are a wonderful source of information but they do for some reason attract juvenile behaviour. Only recently I put a couple of 'boys' back in their place (sling 'em to the kerb!)with a low key put-down that they couldn't respond to without making themselves look even more stupid! Thanks to all those who contacted me to say 'thanks' and congratulate me for a 'perfect put-down'.
