A good set of Tamiya.Easy going, good connectivity details. There are several places where you need to apply the putty, it is the front part of the fuselage and the keel of the aircraft. A very worthy study of the cockpit. Good transparent cockpit glass.bad frame isolated lantern cockpit. АThe decal set at three.lso there is no air intake duct in front of the turbine. Set allows you to build a model in flying condition as well as parking with folded wings.

Excellent overall model kit. Just what you expect from Tamiya. They captured the Skyrays delta wing to perfection. The kit has great fit, no flash and superb decals. A kit anyone can build.

Until Tamiya came out with this kit, we could only model a 1/48 Skyray with the Lindberg kit--a lot like not having a Skyray. The Tamiya kit featured four very colorful sets of markings and the rigorous detail throughout, and although this airplane was not a long-term success with the sea services, our appetites for it had been cultivated throughout our childhoods by the box scale Revell and Aurora kits. So it was both a must-have and an all-around joy to build. Be aware that the kit requires nose weight.
