It's great to see this one back - the old Tamiya 1/50 version from the 1960s was decent, but this one is actually 1/48 and is also significantly better.

it's a very nice kit indeed - I believe this will be the third boxing. If Hasegawa stays true to form there will be many more over the years.

Here's mine -

Happy to see a new release. I don't know of the 902nd but I love this Type 0.

Richard - nice job!

Tim - I found some parts from my Tamiya Pete in a parts bin, the cowl and the spinny electric motor.

Shell - Agreed! Or a 1/24 one to go with Trumpy's 1/24 Rufe!
