They're a bit blooming good for £3 each, they must be tiny.

[Eric Mc]

Very nice.

Tamiya originally produced these kits back in the 70s. They have recently re-released them - although I think the normal retail price is a bit more than £3.00.

[HoHoHo]

Both look very good

What's the best way to paint metal strips on cockpit windows?

[The_Jackal]

Oh yeah they were reduced. 5.99 normally I think.
Sizewise they are about 2 inches longer than a 1/72 Spitfire.

For the cockpit windows Tamiya tape, a sharp blade, good eyesight and patience.

Just bought 8386, the Ferrari F1 Racer, for £25.00 from the bay!!

Well chuffed with that.

[Eric Mc]

Which "F1 Racer" is that?

Tamiya have made quite a few Ferrari F1 kits.

Isn't that LEGO ?

[Red Firecracker]

I think that'll be the Lego version, Eric.

I thought this was a Tamiya related thread - sorry.

[The_Jackal]

Yeah confused me a bit too. A bit left field.

More than likely a swing and a miss at the Lego thread, Eric.

Which I've not been reading - not being a Lego fan.
