Thank you Sir, for your contribution to this hobby. May you never be forgotten.

100% with you there Ratty, he changed the plastic modelling world for sure.  :thumbsup:
Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

...and I'm not a closeted 'Take That' fan, I'm a REAL fan! :)

Regards

Sad.

Selfishly, I hope the company will appoint someone who understands what Mr Tamiya did & was doing in the plastic model sphere.
