I love these 'peaks' inside! Nice write up too.

Thank you Jeff. I'll have a build log going on this kit sometime this weekend.

Hey Scott,
I've got one of these in my stash.
As usual with Tamiya, what's inside the box looks great.
It's nice to hear that it's not just my opinion !!!
Cheers

I've started the build and so far it's been flawless. The fit is perfect! The wheel assemblies are done as is most of the lower hull except for the suspension arms. I'll post the build log a little later today when I have more "meat" to post, so to speak.

I've also got this one getting dusty in the closet and this is a good reason to at least dust it off and look at it Thanks Scott Bob

You're welcome Bob, hope to see you dust it off and get to building it soon!

I finally had a chance to get the build log going. You can see it here if you're interested.
