Re: Some Tamiya 1/32 Hand-builts



Congratulations are in order TopHat !!!!!!

You've done an excellent job.

They still are the "Rolls-Royce" of a/c kits.

Tamiya kits were easier to get over this side of the pond, before the previous distributor went ***'s-up.

Managed to get my F.4-J at a national kit fair for only £ 50.

The F.4-C/D's were going out for around £ 60, though I did attend one airshow (Biggin-Hill) where one dealer was putting out the USAF F.4-C/D for a meagre £ 39 - (a one-off time situation).

When the 'Marine' Version came out, they were going for £ 110.

Loads of (not so well off) guys in the U.K. went out & bought the (newer) Revell 1/32nd kit - moulded in a strange tan/earth brown colour.
I bought their 1/32 RF.4, which is still in my loft.
