It ducking well works!
The one and only disapointment with the Tamiya kit is the stickers provided for the beak and eyes. They don't stick to the plastic, and even if they did, the result would look rubbish. A few moments with some pots of orange and black paint gave a much better effect. This IS finescale modelling after all...
On land, the duck scampers around at great speed. Steering works, although not that well. You need to be alert to the progress of your waterfowl.
On the water, the swimming is more leisurely, but just as effective. Not suitable for a stream, there's no way the duck would fight the currents, but idea for a pool. At some point, we will try the boat club pond, but only on a still day. And with a net handy to retrieve the bird from a random part of the bank!
A great fun kit, that goes together nicely, and if I'm honest, would take about an hour to assemble.
That is super!
ReplyDeleteOne could even say quacking 😀
Its the head movement that makes it, a neat touch
