Head lamp magnifier thingy

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... -
