It amazes me how much detail there is in this kit. Also how everything fits just great. Tamiya has a reputation, which is well deserved!!

I've built a couple of Tamiya Landys and found the first one the suspension was lacking so I Cannibilised the Italeri steering and suspension.Fits great.

For a kit tooled in 1976, I think it is exceptionally good

I started to paint this one.
It is coated in Tamiya X18, this will be over sprayed with old rose as a basecoat, before the final layer of beige pink is layed on.
I've managed to knock off one of the smoke dischargers, and I still haven't found it yet 🙈
