Who has the oldest model kit?
I have a 1/72 Frog Canberra PR 7 from, according to scalemates , 1955 I'm building it as a what if? 'Stratos4' aircrew trainer' using the crew from Airfix TSR2 MS kit. In the same way the anime replaced the TSR2 with MiG31 I will replace the Yakovlev Yak28 for a Canberra PR7 -
not serious
So, I have this Tamiya 1/35 Panzer IV on the bench, it's going well, nicely detailed and a good fit of all the parts Should I have a go at an interior detail build too? I doubt the Germans equipped their interiors like this Miko (wondering if anyone has attempted this before?) -

As far as missus Miko is concerned, I'm looking after these for a friend! Ha! Tamiya group build anyone? to honor the passing of the great man? My first Dragon kit! Useful nippy things and cocktail sticks useful in many ways including painting very fine lines Miko (in retail therapy) -
Tamiya-San has died.
We all owe a debt of gratitude to Shunsaku san, the level of excellence in Tamiya kits have inspired other manufacturers to improve fit finish and detail to rival Shizuoka's finest! I have a number of Tamiya kits from the 1970's that still hold their own today, The Churchill VII being one... -

Arrived today, I've been after a now discontinued 70's era Tamiya M3 Lee as preferred by 'Platz' in their offering of 'Rabbit Team' Girls & Panzer M3 kit, but the ones I can find are ruinously expensive so this 'I❤️Kit' M3 Lee is the right type and version plus arguably a better kit and half... -
