I did consider it. The reason model companies have produced these expensive, multi option, state of the art models is US, the dedicated modelers that whine, criticize and complain about every rivet, issue, panel and the like. This has driven costs up and modelers out (so we defintely agree on that). As for Italeri being distributed by Tamiya, that's a distribution agreement . Dave

I could see there demise. As most of their kits have been repalced by newer releases but others, they sell less. There Tomcat is Ok but not nearly Hobbyboss or Tamiya or AMK's forthcoming kit. And resissuing the old when most of us have the kit or there is a better kit won't cut it. I see there P-61 is back out....GWH is better by miles Dave

Thanks. I think the wings and patch add something to the final presentation Dave

Great looking presentation. Where do you get the wings and the patch? Dave

Here's the Reviewer Corps review of the kit: https://web.ipmsusa3.org/content/fw-190a-4 Dave

Came out looking great. I do recommend the Hasegawa kit as I have built three and while it may be a little tricky (as are most Hornets), it has all the needed parts and good instructions Great job and an even better reason for doing it Dave

Really cool. I would have spent hours on the ground looking for parts. Dave

Great suggestion. Local store has rows of Gundam. Dave

You could probably contact the IPMS Niagara Frontier Chapter. It was through them I met him Dave

Been dead for along time as far as I can tell..years and the domain wasn't renewed which killed the page. Used to be a Buffalo guy Dave
