The Tamiya 1/12 kit is my oldest SOD model. I started it back in 1993. I work a little bit on it every year. A very little bit.

The quality of the castings, of the detailing, of the engraving, is simply outstanding. We are in Fisher or Lukgraph territory here, gentlemen, no less. And to think this is achieved whilst suffering Orcs’ bombings and power grid cuts makes my admiration even greater for what Andreyi has done. Hubert Curse you Hubert! I've been in the fenc about the kit but ended up ordering one after reading your single word review. I do have their Cavalier Mustang conversion so at least I know what quality to expect. Now to wait my turn. Not like I have nothing else to work on in the meantime... 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The breakdown seems to be fairly logical from what I recall. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlrwestSiR Posted May 5, 2023 Share Posted May 5, 2023 Here's some quick pics of the Cavalier Mustang. The replacement fuselage. Closeup showing the panel lines. Super thin exhaust. Tip tanks. There's a replacement prop, cockpit floor and some additional detail parts. The cuts to the tail and wingtips are very straightforward so this could be an ideal first conversion for someone. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
