agree. but if you want to strip the paint...is hell.
Althought Plating models by Tamiya are limited, is only apply to collector, to modelers, this is totally crap. IMO.

I had the same kit and becuz it's hard to find decent Tamiya kits in my local hobby shop I just bought it and treated it like a normal kit (primer + 4-5 coats of paint). Only thing I did was mask off the backlights and side lights on the body so I wouldn't have to paint them X-11 or use bare metal foil.
It's possible that they're not supposed to be painted but they turn out just as good as you paint them imo. Grtz Jan |
