Description

This is an injection-plastic jet aircraft model kit.


Years and years ago, Tamiya made 1/35 scale THE scale for military vehicles. They then attempted to repeat their success and make a new standard for aircraft models by releasing a series of 1/100 kits. While a very sensible idea from the standpoint of a nation that, like most of the world, uses the metric system, 1/100 scale just never caught on. However, the kits produced were actually quite good, so Tamiya has seen fit to reissue them!

A two-fer kit! One box, with two kits. Both feature recessed panel lines and somewhat simplified detail, as fits their age (copyright 1972), but both have the addition of nicely done pilot figures which will help mask the non-existant cockpits. Markings for 3 different 262s and two different 163s are included. Unlike the previous "limited" release of these kits, this time they are packaged in a proper box, and steel ball bearings have been added for nose weights for the 262. A nice touch! And this release is cheaper too!
