Tamiya 1/48 Scale Scale V-1 (Fieseler Fi103)

This is an injection-plastic jet aircraft model kit.

Tamiya surprised many with this product announcement. Released in conjunction with their Gloster Meteor F.1, this little kit is the essence of simplicity. A single runner holds just seventeen parts, of which only eight are used to build the actual V-1. The remainder are for the dolly. There isn't even an instruction sheet -- the assembly guide is printed right on the back of the box. The tooling is as crisp as anything they do. Would make a great little first-time kit for a younger modeler, too.
