Hello all. It has been brought to my attention the seam on the canopy is correct. My mistake. I actually double checked it and still missed it lol.
I personally like a brutally honest review , that’s why I watch kit reviews so I know to buy a kit or not , awesome job mate
Thanks mate. Glad you like it. Thank you for watching
Tamiya have a long history of reboxing Italeri kits to fill gaps in their 1/72 aircraft range. It is disappointing if you weren't expecting it.
Коробки у ,тамии. всегда были качественными....дпже для перепака.😉😂
It's an okay kit, just...okay.
Love your honesty, that's why I watch your chanel. 👍
I appreciate that. Thank you
Hi Andrew, Thanks for an honest review, not that I'm looking for this kit. I have been posting your reviews to Scalemates daily, I hope it drives some additional traffic and subscribers. Keep up the good work my friend. Stay safe out there.....
Wow. Thanks mate! I really appreciate it! Hope you are well.
@@andrewsartscalemodels Yes we are all well, my oldest daughter got married last week, Yippee. My youngest daughter started at NYU, Yippee. Still out of work, but oh well...stay safe.
We have a saying in Wales ... when something really does ya head in or goes wrong ... that really grips my shit.
I just think you had one of them moments 🤣.
hahaha yeah I was a little pissy. I must remember that saying lol
You might say he was "Gripin' about the model...
pretty much lol
If it's not a Zero, Mustang, Corsair or 109 then you can pretty much assume if it's 1/72 Tamiya it's an Italeri rebox. Buyer needs to be seriously aware. Cool review. Cheers
Thanks mate. Glad you like them. This one really annoyed me lol
@@andrewsartscalemodels 1/72 isn't my scale these days. But I was been enticed by a "new" 1/72 Ju-88 or Ju-87 only to find they were reboxes of the Italeri kits. The only kits Tamiya seem to make themselves are Zeros, Corsairs, Mustangs and 109s... oh and F-16. Check out the Revell 1/72 Grippen over on Scale Model Aircraft- bloody brill.
Another really honest review that will save us from buying a disaster in the making. Thanks Andrew. Also great to see you getting so many more subscribers. Well done!
Thanks Kerri. Thank you for always taking the time to leave feedback. I really appreciate it.
I built the "original" Italeri version. I polished that seamline on the canopy for hours. It was annoying, to say the least ... You know what was even more annoying? When I realized, that's not a seamline, that's the detonation cord ...
🤣 Don't recall if I knew that when I did the video. Probably not 🤣
Just spotted my pinned comment lol.
@@andrewsartscalemodels Oh ... I read all the comments to see if anyone mentioned this ... all but the first :D
@@andrasi_gyula all good. More than happy to be corrected if I get something wrong 👍
I bought this kit along with 1/35 Leopard I from local tamiya store 2 months before you reviewed because it on sale 30% off for both. Even though it is not great but I hope it will be my teacher for me to practice before I move to better kit in the future.
Good honest review Andrew!
Thanks!
i am pleased you did. these models need outing and tamiya need a wake up call for doing it, i can see a few bits for the spares box, but otherwise i would have given it to the charity shop..cheers good review of a shoddy kit..
Thanks mate. No idea why a company would willingly damage their own brand.
I don't think you are being unfair and I am very surprised that Tamiya did this. Tamiya have always been high on my list of quality kits to buy. Nice to get a heads up and we can then make informed choices. Not all reviewers are that honest especially if kits are sent to them!!
Thanks mate. Yeah it was a little annoying. I had really expected better from TAMIYA.
The “seam” line on the canopy it’s supposed to be there, the real plane has it 😎. But I am with you, don’t like italeri. Great channel ✊🏼
Thanks mate. I looked on the real thing and couldn't see it lol. Missed it. 🤣 I stand corrected. Thank you 👍
Thanks for the honest review! This kind of information is very helpful in deciding what to spend my $$ on.
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks for the review a disappointment from Tamiya.
Yeah I knew that some kits were reboxed but I had hoped for better.
