Woo Hoo, this looks like its going to be a fun thread to watch.  Big Smile

 

I will do my best to entertain forum members like you.  There is a great amount of detail in the cockpit, also the engine assembly looks really fun.

Thank you so very much scottrc for always, always following my threads and replying as well.

Paint scheme diagram.  Too bad it’s not in color.

To my fellow forum members,

This build is a difficult one at least for me as I’m attempting to do the markings of the Hien on the cover of the box.  It seems to me that the camoflauge is critical in accuracy in this build.  

Luckily for me, I will only be camoflaugeing one side only as I’m going to go with the clear side for the other half.  

This build will also be featured in Gamera’s Japanese GB VII.  For those of you like me that don’t get around the Forums that much and just hang out at the aircraft section, I urge you to take a look as there are some seriously interesting historical builds there!  

I want to thank all FSM Forum Members for following my builds but most importantly, I want to thank M. Brindos and Model Maniac for highly recommending this kit to me.  I personally think it’s an exciting kit to build.  Why?  Here’s why.

First off it‘s a Tamiya.  Second, for a 1/48, it’s highly detailed almost to the point of a 1/32.  Third, I love and am infatuated with clear fueselauges.  Fourth, wow!  A mask is included with this kit.  Fifth, as challenging as the kit is to build, the paint scheme is tedious and meticulous at best.  And sixth and finally, did I mentioned it is a Tamiya kit?  lol!

Your friend, Toshi

 

Here’s the box art.
