Thanks!it is one sharp air craft!
You are doing some remarkable work on that Mavis. I'm really enjoying you build and your skill.

Epoxied the main wing to the pylons.
Peeled off the canoopy masks.I like it!
Painted the wing Hinomarus.Not perfect but I will get as close as I can.
Masked and painted the yellow id bands on the wings.
Tacked on the engine cowlings with white glue and painted the main wing including the lower wing Hinomarus.
I assembled and installed the outer wing sections.Wow! what a wingspan.!
Got the center wing section together.Much clampage was necessary.
Thanks! Will do!
Looking really good Philo!! Keep up the good work.

I keep hitting "escape", but I'm still here.
I elected to paint the Hinomarus rather than using the decals.
Laying down the green.
I primered the entire fuselage then i mixed and airbrushed the ash white on the underside.
OK!Finally got the canopy masked and installed a shot a light coat of Zinc Chromate.
13 and 3/4 inches long.
How long is that fuselage? It looks pretty big there.
F is for FIRE, That burns down the whole town!

Mounted up the wing pylons making careful note of how they fit in the lower wing.Masked and installed the rear glass.Next up;i have to tackle the side blisters and main canopy section.
I had some trouble with the rear control surfaces.The slots for the vertical stabilizers were too shallow so I had to grind the tabs off so that they would fit semi flush.The tabs for the horizontal stabilizers were too thick to fit the slots in the fuselage so I thinned them with my Dremel.
Looking good so far! I'll be keeping an eye on this one! Raymond

Now that is one kit I cannot recall seeing at a swap meet lately.
I remember seeing it in hobby shops during the early 1970s, though.

Looking forward to following your build thread.
They are flat with many raised rivets.I like them and will not sand them off.
Are the panel lines raised or not? I can't tell in the pics
Took care of the top seam(I will do the same on the bottom) little filler required.
Combat models made a vac form 1/48 version but they can be a little hard to find.
Even in 1/72 this plane the wingspan is about 22 in. Out of curiosity went looking to see if a 1/48 version exist. Couldn't find it. This is one huge airplane and beautiful, too. Can't wait to see your final.
Yes it looks pretty cool!
