Nell finished

Posted by Don Stauffer on Thursday, June 30, 2016 10:55 AM

Finished the Hasagawa Nell (1:72). These are quicky photos, indoors with flash and auto settings.

I can't do my outdoor photo backdrop shoots yet because I do not have a background appropriate for WW2 Japanese airfields. Working one. Say, you Japanese WW2 experts- what type of runways did they typically use on pacific islands? Paved, gravel, sod?

Very nicely done,Don. I'm trying to finish my second Hasegawa craft, but have had fit issues on both.

Wow, that plane has really big main wings, kind of like a B-17.

I would think that all pacific island airfields used pletiful crushed coral.

Looks great Don. I'd love to see this kit in 1/48th by someone...
