Specificatios & Features:

These craft saws feature 0.1mm thick photo-etched blades to allow precision cuts on your models. When you use a standard craft saw for modification, you have to consider the thickness of the blade itself. However, as the blade of this item is very thin, the cut line is also very small.
These stainless steel blades are very convenient for applying modifications to 1/35 scale figures and cutting away control surfaces of aircraft models.

It is also possible to attach the saws to Item 74040 Modeler's Knife for easier handling.

Warning - Never use these paints on plastic models.

These spray paints were developed especially for decorating transparent polycarbonate bodies used in R/C car modeling. Each can contains 100ml of paint, which is the appropriate amount for finishing the model.

Paint the body from the inside, keeping the can about 30cm from the surface. After curing apply another coat. Small details should be brush painted beforehand, using Tamiya bottle paints for polycarbonate.

These paints are impervious to oil and fuels, so they can be safely used on gas –powered R/C bodies

Sketched out in a New York city hotel in April 1940, the North American Aviation Corporation NA73X went on to become one of the best fighters to come out of World War 2. The U.S. Army Air Corps gave it the title of P (for Pursuit) 51, and it was named Mustang by the British. Of the several variations of the Mustang, the P-51D is considered the definitive version and was the first to have the bubble canopy. More "D" models were built than any other variant, with a total of 9,603 being produced. Armed with six .50 caliber machine guns, three in each wing, with 400 rounds for each inboard gun and 270 rounds for the other four, plus underwing pylons for auxiliary fuel tans or 1000lb bombs, the Mustang was a true fighter pilots airplane. At the conclusion of WW2, Mustangs were in operation all over the world, flying in several nations air forces. When the Korean conflict broke out, hundred of F (for fighters) 51's were in Japan awaiting scraping. Because they possessed too slow speed manoeuvrability that was absent in the new jets then entering service, the F-51 was ideal to work with Forward Air Controllers (FAC's) on the ground in Korea. The major drawback to this was the F-51's liquid cooled engine susceptibility to anti aircraft and small arms fire when attacking ground targets. This caused the Mustang to have the highest loss ratio of any aircraft in Korea. A total of 194 were lost in three years, with only 10 being downed in combat with other aircraft.

About the Douglas A-1J Skyraider U.S. Air Force

Also going by the names Dauntless II, AD, A-1 Able Dog, and Spad, the Douglas Skyraider saw almost 30 years of service. The Skyraider's development started in June 1944. Not completed in time for WWII, its first combat came with the outbreak of the Korean War in June 1950. The first production version to roll out of the Douglas factory was designated the AD-1. Twelve years and seven versions later, over 3200 Skyraiders had been produced.

Among those, the AD-6 version, also known as "Able Dog Six", was produced in the greatest numbers. The next and final version of the Skyraider, the AD-7, was extremely identical to the AD-6, but it had reinforced wing spars and wing fittings, as well as the strongest landing gear of all the variants. The AD-7 housed the new wright R-3350-26WB engine, which enabled a top speed of 285 knots. Due to a directive to standardize the designation of Navy and Air Force aircraft, AD-6 and AD-7 became known as A-1H and A-1J respectively.

In 1965, when U.S. air operations in Vietnam became more aggressive, literally hundreds of Skyraiders, including the A-1J, were deployed to the 14th and 56th Special Operations Wings (SOW). Armed with Mk.82 and Mk.117 bombs, 20mm wing-mounted cannons, and rocket launchers, the Skyraiders were used in a wide variety of combat missions.

These cans of spray paint are extremely useful for painting large surfaces. The paint is a synthetic lacquer that cures in a short period of time. Each can contains 100ml of paint, which is enough to fully cover 2 or 3, 1/24 scale sized car bodies.

Tamiya spray paints are not affected by acrylic or enamel paints. Therefore following the painting of the entire assembly, details can be added or picked out using enamel and/or acrylic paints.

Although now featuring 990cc 4-stroke engine bikes, prior to 2002 the

top class of the World Motorcycle Grand Prix was the GP500, featuring

bikes restricted to 500cc engines capable of producing a maximum 150hp.

In the 1980's Honda and Yamaha dominated the GP500, with Honda racing

their legendary NSR 500. Honda's 2-stroke V4 engine loaded NSR 500 made

her first appearance in the GP500 in 1984. After a disappointing debut

season the NSR 500 lived up to all expectations in 1985, with former

world champion Freddie Spencer taking out his second world title. In

1986, whilst the NSR 500 was in the capable hands of Wayne Gardner in

the GP500 class, in Japan it flew the famous Honda racing team colours

in the domestic All Japan Road Race Championship. Burdening high

expectations for instant success, by round 3 champion Honda rider Keiji

Kinoshita and the NSR 500 had already formed a formidable combination.

Drawing out the full potential of the powerful 2-stroke 499cc V4

engine, the Kinoshita-NSR 500 combination clock d the fastest time in

qualifying to go on and win Honda's first race of the season. Taking

out a second consecutive win in round 4, Kinoshita had already climbed

to the top in the riders championship. Holding the lead for the rest of

the season, Kinoshita took out his first title in 5 years and Honda

their first ever domestic title in the 500cc class. Improving with

every season, the legendary NSR 500 continued to be used at the top

racing level until the arrival of the revolutionary 4-stroke 990cc

RC211 V in 2002.

Tamiya Acrylic Model Paint paints are made from water-soluble Acrylic Model Paint resins and are excellent for either brush or spray painting. These paints can be used on styrol resins, styrofoam, wood, plus all the common model plastics. The paint covers well, flows smoothly with no blushing or fading, and can be blended easily. Each bottle contains 23ml.

Tamiya offers by far the easiest way to achieve realistic finishing effects on your scale models with the Weathering Stick. Use glue-stick type container to simply "paint" mud or snow onto tank treads or rally car chassis. With no need for a brush or pallet, Tamiya's Weathering Stick takes modeling simplicity to new heights.

About the Stick
Each retractable stick holds 5mm of color.
Water soluble material can be wiped off model with a damp cloth.

Set of 3 metallic colors: orange rust (for orange/red tinted rusty metal), gun metal (for unpolished metal look) and silver (for polished metal look).
Pocket sized case includes 3 colors and special double-tipped applicator tool.

This is an all-new kit designed by Tamiya's top designers which

recreates the "Easy Eight" variant of the legendary Sherman medium

tank. The M4A3E8 was known fondly as the “Easy Eight” by its crews,

thanks to the relatively smooth drive afforded by its Horizontal Volute

Spring Suspension (HVSS). Another distinguishing feature was its 76mm

gun. Some of the 2,500 examples produced were in time to appear in the

Battle of the Bulge (Dec. 1944-Jan. 1945), and others even served in

the Korean War years after the Allied WWII triumph. Movie buffs will no

doubt also recall that the "Easy Eight" was the star of the 2014 hit

film "Fury."

These specially designed sponge brushes allow extremely detailed weathering work using Tamiya's popular Weathering Master material. Resilient sponge brush features long handle and comfortable grip making this tool very easy to use. Brushes available in medium and fine sizes.

Sandpaper that can be used when modifying and finishing Tamiya products. For use on metal, plastic or wood. Can be used wet or dry and is clog-resistant.

At the Motorcycle Show held in Milan, Italy, in September of 1997, the Yamaha YZF-R1 supersport motorcycle made its debut. Sporting a powerful 1000cc engine, it has the compact construction of a 400cc bike. The YZF-R1 was developed for maximum possible cornering ability in a production motorcycle. With a 1000cc water-cooled, four stroke, 4-cylinder, 5-valve engine and adopting a redesigned EXUP exhaust system, it pumps out 150hp of high-intensity power. Subtle throttle control makes both superb acceleration response and rhythmic cornering a reality. The Deltabox II aluminum frame was sought after not only for its rigidity, but more so for its moderate flexibility during tight cornering. With the addition of a long span aluminum swing arm, high control ability has been achieved. By adopting an upside-down front fork, stroke distance has been increased and traction heightened. Boasting a sharp form with multi-reflector lights, the YZF-R1 has been given an unprecedented style. From the contact points between the rider and motorcycle, right down to the material used in the seat and tank, the YZF-R1 has been thoroughly studied. Of course, the abundance of high precision and high quality parts goes without saying. Designed to cruise at high speeds on winding roads, the YZF-R1 shatters expectations about large exhaust engine motorcycles. Yamaha has expanded the possibilities of a 1000cc bike.

About the Honda CB750F

The Honda CB750F Motorcycle appeared on the Japanese market in June 1979 and was shortly to become the best seller in the 750 class. Just ten years prior to their 750F release, Honda opened up the field of multicylinder bikes with their now famous four cylinder CB750. Honda had won several Grand Prix motorcycle races with multi-cylinder bikes, and the CB750 was based upon these experiences. The engines worked flawlessly and provided very smooth power, and so shocked the industry that shortly many of the famous makers produced four cylinder large cubic motorcycles. Honda, of course, held the number one position in sales for many years, but then Kawasaki released their "Z" series DOHC 4 cylinder 750 bikes, and took over the number one position, relegating Honda to 2nd place. Honda, however, did not take this set back for long, and continued to improve their engines, and in 1979 released a CB750K DOHC with four valves per cylinder, a powerful 68hp, and new body styling. It was not long before Honda was again number one! The CB750F, released in June 1979 was styled after the very popular European Honda CB900F which had been copied from their racing RCB bike. This styling was new to stock motorcycles in the world. With the low positioned handle bars and rear positioned foot rests, allowed a "slouched" riding position. The style is setting the standard for the eighties.

The CB750F is powered by a 4 cylinder DOHC 748cc engine with 4 valves per cylinder, and the 1981 version produces 70 brake horsepower. The bike has a double cradle frame of welded steel tubing, semi-air front suspension system, and FQV damped rear coils. Braking utilizes the dual piston caliper system, with dual discs in front and a single disc at the rear. A newly designed racing type front fender with spoiler has proved to be very popular among the bike enthusiasts. The overall styling of that unveiled in 1979, with the smooth flowing lines from tank to tail light have been retained, and it is likely that this fine motorcycle will stay at the forefront of sales for years to come.
