I have been modelling for around 9 months now & have just completed the Tamiya F-14D - probably the first build I have been truly happy with. I used to build (terrible) models as a kid, 30 years later & a gap in work has allowed me to rediscover the hobby.
Images attached - I am amazed/disappointed at what errors have become visible on a close-up photograph that you do not see when building the thing.
Truly amazing kit from Tamiya - perfect blend of engineering, fit & detail.
The rusty wire that holds the cork that keeps the anger in Gives way and suddenly it’s day again The sun is in the east Even though the day is done Two suns in the sunset, hmph Could be the human race is run
UNDERSTEER - is when you hit the wall with the front wing. OVERSTEER - is when you hit the wall with the back wing. HORSEPOWER - is how fast you hit the wall. TORQUE - is how far you can take the wall with you.
