Dang! You look away for just a little bit and BAM!! It's finished! Super job on this one Toshi and Ezra! Lots to be proud of right there.

 

Thank you mustang1989.  We had a fantastic time.  We enjoyed building the Topedo. Ezra Air brushed the Torpedo, it came great.  My responsibility was to fix and clean what was a mistake Ezra made ...

Mr. Toshi and Ezra...awe struck, simply awe struck.  You two have done a wonderful job on this build!  Awesome subject, awesome work, and time well spent with family/next generation!  Now that's our hobby at its finest!!!

Well done both of you!  Super job!  And fast too!

I just wanted to show you all in that this is our next build below.  Things are so small.  1/72 scale kits looks like a huge challenge for us.  Thank you all for following this project.

Here I have Ezra’s and I “George” build.  Just looking at some of the parts on the sprue makes me think twice in carefully removing the parts needed to complete this kit.

I have here some of the cockpit assembled.  With great difficulty, I’ve achieved in starting this very small 1/72 kit.  I normally do 1/32 scale or 1/48 scale kits so this will be a challenge for me.

I don’t know how some of you assemble kits that are 1/72 scale.  A thumbs up to FSM Forum members that build 1/72 scale.

Toshi,

Oh wow, you are a machine!  That was super fast.  And you had just finished that monster Trumpeter Avenger!  You are an inspiration to snail-slow builders like me -  I thank you for the gentle kick in the pants your builds provide me.

 

Thank you Real G.  You make Ezra and I very happy with your support and very kind words.  The Trumpeter Avenger in my humbled opinion turned out great!  Ezra is excited to build the “George”.

Hell's Teeth, Toshi! You only just started it!

It looks great and the Vallejo colours really make it look like the real thing!

I think you are ready for a Zoukei Mura kit!

Don't forget to take a look at what I am doing to the Shinden!

Thanks to Eagles90 whom I could never have built this kit without his generosity!  As it is, it’s a little bit of a challenge to get a old school Monogram built but is possible without too many issues.  Most of my issues were the AB.  Other than that, this as a very fun and refreshing build.  Any build I can share with my grandson is just great.

Your friend, Toshi & Ezra
