What a pfeiling!



I hated to do it, but there are so many puns with this plane's name. This is the Tamiya 1/48 Dornier 335A Pfeil (Arrow). Its a big kit, and a beauty to build. It is so seriously nice building, I am so relaxed throughout the entire process. No worries with fit, markings, decals anything. It even comes with a metal nose weight. Tamiya even provided a massive printed camo scheme guide which you use a template for painting. If this is how model kits have progressed from the 80s, then... WOW! Keep 'em coming! I Pfeil good!
