>>9686457what? Old Tamiya kits are fine, just not up to the standards of modern kits for detailing. I built their old-ass Walker Bulldog tank as a first armor kit and it was fantastic.
Hasegawa is like Tamiya but often with a few more fiddly parts in the build sequence. Boomers say 'Tamiyagawa' to refer to both Jap kit makers. Hasegawa also takes more risks with their subjects, they actually put out a 'Myrt' and a 'Grace" in 1/48 despite neither of those planes being known to most modelers.
