Started this one a few days ago.
A few goodies for the kit.
clear parts are typically Tamiya nice.
A metal weight included, nice touch Tamiya.
This is the 1997 Tamiya kit, made in the Philippines.
Pe gear bay in, I cut and shaped two plastic card pieces to fit the rear bulkhead Pe, this made it far easier to glue and gave much more stability for the large gear bay piece when fitting.
Pe madness! there's about 60 pieces of Pe for the pit area, IP and radio compartment, the self adhesive set worked well but I still used a drop of Ca glue as well. Pe levers not fitted to IP and side panels yet
more later.

I got this one as well Phil, will therefore follow with more than a smattering of interest. Please add tips and notes as you go along.
