Thanks for your comment, and sorry your right Tamiya is Japanese, I also think your totally right about the aftermarket parts, this kit really is all good to go out of the box.
you should look up the final conclusion video ;-)

Cool!... I still have a Revell 1/32 F4J still in it's box!... read a book called USMC Phantoms in combat by Lou Drendel👍✈️
Okay, okay... 😄
Tamiya is Japanese not Chinese.
How does this kit compare to the revell 1/32 wild weasel kit?
Not even close. This model is in a different leage. The plastic is thicker and heavier. And way more detail.
Watching this video 10 years later in mid 2022 and the kit is now on sale online for £104.95.
Even back then it was never a £120 kit even if that is what it cost you to buy it.
Ye we are all getting screwed by the big companys
@@genessismodels Its not even that, its the retailers.
The Italeri Tornado.
How many bought it just after release day for £130-140???
Its going for just under £100 online now and thats retail.
I know some retailers who bought it wholesale for about £95 and still sold it for its RRP because its its RRP and why shouldnt they make £45 profit.
To be honest the mark up for sellers is not the best in the scale modeling world, now I have started selling my self I can see why so many retail shops have closed, as for these big costly kits, its one of these items that a lot if sellers sell at a 20% discount just to get people to buy from them, but to not make any profit just new customers.
Sadly even just 20% off does not leave us with much of a profit.
But yes as scale modeler, to still see an old kit like Tamiya’s phantom still cost so much and to see the tornado cost so much from a company that is good, but not the best manufacturer of kits, is off putting.
Nice review. These aftermarket extra's are often built for expensive models, whereas they would make more of a difference to less expensive and less detailed models. The real improvement here is the engine nozzles, I think. I would buy them. If you're skilled enough to make the most out of this Tamiya kit, you don't really need the aftermarket stuff. It's a great kit, by the look of it. Btw, I thought Tamiya was Japanese, not Chinese. Trumpeter is Chinese, I think.
