I never thought I'd read that of any Aoshima kit.  ;D :lol:

Amazingly I have one of those in The Loft, but it does have very long wings.....  ;)

Me, too (knowing the doubtful F7F and the surreal P-63...), but I read good things about the Ta-152, so I gave it a try. I have an Art Model Ta 152 in the pile, and that one is really good and is supposed to be built in an authentic fashion, not certain about the Aoshima one, though.

Many thanks to The Wooksta for the practical tipps!  :thumbsup:

The Wooksta!

The Art Model kit is a clone of the Dragon one, so expect a fight on your hands to get it together and the same goes for the Dragon Ta 152C also.  On the other hand, the Aoshima one just falls together, almost shake and bake.

I'll make it easier for you, I got all of it from this guy: https://www.shapeways.com/designer/KokodaTrailModels  :ph34r:

I've heard that the props look like 2x4s, but I'm more concerned about the basic shapes than the bits I can replace with photoetch or skywave parts.

Thank you sir ! I was having a bit of trouble navigating the site as a first timer !

zenrat

Tamiya tiny pointy paintbrush and a set of white metal undercarriage bits for the Italeri/Testors Flying Boxcar.  Both from HLJ.
The tiny pointy paintbrush is the mutts nuts.  Unlike my other tiny pointy paintbrushes it has very short bristles meaning they shouldn't get bent out of shape & stick out at odd angles.
It's so good I even managed to paint lipstick on my latest 1/72 crew member.

- Can't be bothered to do the proper research and get it right.

Another ill conceived, lazily thought out, crudely executed and badly painted piece of half arsed what-if modelling muppetry from zenrat industries.
