I didn't think about those old Tamiya kits that they won't stop selling.
Especially the early Tamiya figure kits, they're all 1-piece figs.- like
the old Monogram kits. Those would be good for that purpose if Tamiya
would re-package them as "beginner" kits even if it meant slapping a sticker
on the box as opposed total re-design. It would also keep dummies like me
from buying them!
