Re: 1/48 Tamiya Skyray
Great work so far. You're handling those issues well. Point of interest: I built the 1/72 scale version of this same plane from Tamiya. (it was my first ever Tamiya kit built!) I had the very same issues on their 1/72 scale kit as you're having here.

We are modelers - the same in spirit, in hunger to insanely buy newly released kits, hustlers in hiding our stash from our better halves and experts in using garbage as replacements for after-market parts.

Probably the same kit scaled up or down.

Re: 1/48 Tamiya Skyray
Tamiya has boxed quite a few Italeri kits for the Asian market. But the Skyray is there own kitMedicman71 wrote:This is most definitely a Tamiya kit. You can tell it's their plastic.Floki wrote:Is this a Tamiya designed kit? I got a couple of kits that are boxed by Tamiya but are actually italeri
Re: 1/48 Tamiya Skyray
Looks like you're having some fun with this one Mike, but I'm sure you'll get it together nicely.

The Skyray got primed in preparation for painting.

Re: 1/48 Tamiya Skyray
Started on the cockpit for the Skyray. I have to use the decal for the instrument panel because there's no detail there.

Off to a good start on the pit.

Let your weapons slash and tear This is no place for fear
Hold the lines! Move as one! In unity our victory's won
Our shields will form a mighty wall
United we shall never fall
