My favorite era for aircraft is the golden age, and this fits nicely. I'm also interested in your building techniques. I've read a lot about building from block wood, but never tried it.
I have the 1/48 Fine Molds release of the S.21 (kit no. FG-1) from the Ghibli film, Kurenai no Buta. It's a great kit, but I've not finished it. It's also a very good movie, if you haven't seen it.
