Thanks for the compliment about my stuff. I am going to send my résumé in to Tamiya ..... can I use you as a reference on the job application?
Rex,
You can use me as a reference, after all the 1/35 scale kits I bought back in the 70s, I figure I at least furnished Mr. Tamiya's Chateau in the south of France, so that ought to impress them. However not being Japanese could hurt your chances, they might relegate you to sweeping the floors in the corporate bath house.
At least you will get a discount on any Tamiya kits you buy, not such a great thing for a scratch builder of your talent, but it will keep your spares box full of parts.
