These two were completed for the Pearl Harbor Group Build going on now, you can go there to se the WIPS if you like.  On to the Val next, Hasegawa also.

Gorgeous John. I'll have to go in there and check everything out. I do love seeing a cleaner plane every now and then...It's just so hard for me to make one myself. =] I love making them work hard.

Thanks, yes go take a look and maybe join in.

I'm thinking that the Pearl Harbor airplanes were pretty well taken care of at the time.  Not so pretty 6 months later, bv.

Sweet builds jeaton, I love those PH era Jap planes and yes, I read they were pretty clean on that sortie.

 

BTW, bet you found those a little more managable than the B-36 Wink

Very nice. Clean is difficult for me to do most of the time but you did a great job capturing the look these warbirds would have had on Dec 7.

Thanks, Crown and Mike.

I got the Val done, many more photos of it in the Pearl Harbor GB.  Here are a couple family portraits with all three.  Off to WW I for a while now.  Also have a 1/100 727-200 in the works but that's a long term one.

John, realy well done and well photographed too.

When I was a sprat, back in 1959 we were taken on tours up into the Pali to see the wrecks of "Zeroes".

The IJN really pulled one off that day.

Great looking kits, Jeaton! I like the relatively clean look to them as they're starting the war. Can't wait to see the Val.

Looks like they just rolled of the Emporer's assembly line. Nice work and super clean.

Nice clean builds John. I agree these were probably meticulously maintained at that stage. How long will the GB be going on? I may have a go at a Val too.

Keep having fun!
