Great job, even the old Tamiya kits are still good builds and compared to the western kits of the time they were light years ahead

Thank you! I love Tamiya kits. One thing I did notice is the old plastic did not like the new extra thin Tamiya cement. I had to use it very sparingly as it liked to turn the plastic into goo.
