My PE arrived tonight, going to have to get an electron microscope to see some of the parts let alone bend and fit them !! Pantherman

Yes, it's a miracle that I've been able to bend a couple. Mostly I just skip those.

I found some tweezers for this build. Lol

Are those tweezers for applying PE to your build from another room? Or are they for modelers with very short arms. . Pantherman

Actually I use them to reach into the vivariums. I think they're about 8" to 10" just the right size for the gnomes with their tiny short arms.

I'm with you on this one. I will be opt out on the PE. The kit looks pretty good as is.

I don't think that I will use all of PE set as some of the tamiya details look better. Pantherman

I agree. Since I have gotten back to this hobby, barely over a year ago, 98% of my models are Tamiya. They really do pay attention to detail in their pieces and the engineering is really nice. imo.
However, PE parts do spruce up even the finest kits.

I have opened the box here too...lol... I am ready for a break from the Hawk again. Fixing the undersized cowl on that is annoying me. So I say go!

Sorry you're not feeling well. I hope you feel better soon.

Thanks brother. Pantherman

I'm liking the kit, lot's of decent details and not too much flash for an older kit. You can always rely on tamiya. Think I might build this in 4 parts starting with chassis, front, rear, then the guns and tools. Pantherman

 

[Bear43]

This is my first Tamiya kit ever so I am ready to check it out.
