This is a build of the Tamiya V-1 and the Special Hobby V-1/Re-4

The Tamiya kit, as expected, had an amazing fit and was not a problem at all to build.

The Special Hobby kit, however, could not compete at all with the Tamiya. Pieces needed extra work to fit, putty, reduce thickness, etc. I had to make a dolly from scratch based on the 1/32 version.

This assemble was quick and not very detailed, specially in the dolly, where I didn't give a lot of care on the assembly.

The Re-4 version also have a very challenging painting scheme, which was beyond my current skills and / or my airbrush capacity. Good to know where I can do improvements.
