Hi Lee, any particular reason you are building this in1/48 scale? It looks like a great kit and Tamiya seems to have a good reputation for fit. I hope you have fun with it and oh, by the way, all our friends on this forum are old. some older than others!

Hi Lee
Looks like a very nice kit. Certainly a lot of parts. I'm building my first 1/48 scale kit at the moment. I'm enjoying it. I am sure you'll have fun and turn out a great model.
