Quick kit overviews

After a 35 year hiatus, returned to scale model building in November 2013. Mostly military aircraft kits, the F-14, F-16, and Harrier series being my favorite jets, along with the F4U Corsair, and the A6M Zero variants for piston aircraft. Other scale model interests include Star Trek, BSG, and sailing ships. When I returned to modeling, I watched many, many, many modeling video out there getting back up to speed. I started posting videos of my builds as a way to give back to the modeling community. Hope you enjoy the subjects presented and derive some enjoyment and knowledge from them. Thank you.

Quick kit overviews

Post by TonyCnyc »

A couple of quick kit overviews.

An overview of three of Tamiya's 1/48 scale Zeros: A6M2, #61016 (1973), A6M3, #61025 (1982), A6M5c, #61027 (1983) from my stash. All three are 2007 boxings but the actual initial mould releases are noted in parenthesis.
Tamiya does have a new tooling out for the A6M5/5a in 1/48 from 2010, (#61103). Although it is three times the cost (~$45) of one of the older Zeros (~$12), it does come with canopy mask, and begin a newer tooling, more details.
