>>10008651>I had the impression that tamiya kits were shit when I first started this hobby, I see now just how wrong I wasThere is no contradiction here, their pre-2010 kits were not as good as the latest ones. My Type 0 was literally perfect as far as I was concerned, but looking at the older 1/35 Tamiya tanks I am probably going to have a bit different opinion.
