Well the winter period is not the best time for me to be building in my cold damp man shed but I will have a go. This is my offering for this Tamiya GB. The online reviews for this kit are that its a bit of a dog. This is one quote from a member of Brit Modeler "Personally, I wouldn’t touch it with a barge pole - brick-line vortex generators, poor intake shapes, inaccurate wheels and lots more issues". And just for a laugh its got raised panel lines.
Anyway Ill see what I can do with it. Here are the obligatory box and spru shots.

Nice one Steve, I built this kit some years back, the build wasn’t that bad to be honest, filler will be needed. I think most of the problems are like you said the inaccuracies in the kit.
 
Got one of these in the stash so will look forward to seeing one go together

I've read the reviews in the past..... Always took them with a pinch of salt
 
Good choice Steve. As Jim said, if we get bogged down in detail it becomes difficult to enjoy a build. One of the good aspects of this forum is that we don't have much in the way of intensive 'rivet counting'. Raised detail isn't a deal breaker either.

Look forward to seeing what you do with it.
 
Nice one Steve 👍

It gets some flak as it was one of Tamiya’s earlier kits. It will be interesting to see if it is as bad as some of its critics would have you believe.

Geoff.
