I agree with neil. Tamiya name has always been about quality, back in the 80s hotshots and hornets droped together,the build quality was just fantastic.then you sat down and built and rc10, or the original swb cat,the tamiya instructions were a work of art, the schumacher ones....well they were art alright
Tamiya plastic model kits just can't be matched for build quality, a friend of mine was building an F1 car a few years ago for Tamiya modelling magazine the kits parts quality was so good that they had left no tolerance for a coat of paint! before painting the bodywork fitted together perfectly, after painting he has to gently sand the panels so it would all fit again! if tamiya say part A fits into B it does! you just don't get that with revel,airfix etc

I would rather the quality stayed, and we don't get another charge the same price but the quality is out of the window greedy company!

why are we calling a company greedy for being proud of the high standards they produce?

Also china would soon work their magic, within months we would have the hongnit, fastshot
