56204 Yamaha 40 EX Yacht
What a water baby this is !
I have built many yachts/boats and this is definately the most pleasing on the eye. The deck fittings are usual plastic tamiya mouldings, the hull is fantastic quality, as are the light weight spin cloth sails.
My only criticism is the decals.... about time Tamiya caught up on the precut ones.... aside from that, she is a perfect 1:20 scale model of the full size vessel.
She is now awaiting calm weather before she sets sail on her maiden voyage..... watch this space:-)
Painted up, decals fitted, electrics installed
Overall view of the deck & fittings
she just oozes........ Tamiya quality
Complete, trimmed,,,, waiting to add water
Maiden voyage she looks fantastic
Doesn't get any better than this.... my water baby
