Daniel KlinkHi, Thank you Folks 👍 Highly appreciated...
@Markus yes, I built them simultaneously, and i have to say the fit of the Sword kit is not state of the art, even for a Short run kits. Of course the overall surface Detail is better done, but kind of soft and not as crisp as seen before and after from that Manufactor. The decals have also some colour issues.
But if you want to do an early Tojot his is the only game in town.
The much older Hales Kit was the easier and more straight build.
Cheers Daniel

Markus AntoniusThank you Daniel for the information! So i will just wait for Tamiya to take care of a 1/72 scale shoki (they did the Hien recently, so not all hope is lost 🙂

Daniel KlinkIf you want a late Shoki the Hasegawa one is still a decent kit. 👍
