Not a whole lot of parts but it does look nicely detailed. Love your rudder pedals there. 

A Jagdtiger, you do armour too Bsyamato? Wink

Oh, you should post some of your tanks over on the armour forum.

And if you run over don't worry about it, same rules on if you want to carry over to the next GB it's fine.

bsyamato - impressive voloume of work there, I can never build more than one kit at a time.  Have to agree with Cliff, great paintwork, specially considering it is by brush only.  Very keen work on the scratch building too.  The Pete is the one I'm really looking forward to.

regards,

Jack

Bravo Bsyamato!!! 

I've been fooling around with an ancient Hasegawa 1/72nd Nakajima G8N 'Rita' four-engine bomber. Not much of an interior at all, I did think about trying to scratchbuild some of the interior but other than adding two control columns, the kit has nothing in the cockpit but seats, I just decided to not being easy to see I'd just leave it.

I had the possibility to get a Rita too but preferred the newest tooled Peggy :D 

If you need some reference about the Rita probably i can found something.

I can't exclude to get one in future.. for the moment waiting for a second 1/72 Mavis in a later box (reisseued with better plastic and new decals) than the oldest i have in the stash with terrible old green plastic Confused

Those don't look too bad! 

I got the Rita for fifteen bucks US so I'm not too worried about it being perfect. It does have the same zillions of tiny rivets like the Mavis kit. I'm going to try using Archer brand decal rivets to put them back where I sand them off on the seams.

Sure, you're welcome to!

Good kit, not as good as the new Tamiya kit but everything goes together like silk.

Main colours on, along with the top and underside wing markings.  Decals were odd in that some of the characters and symbols separated from the rest of the group - actually the topside ones ended up being 5 individual decals.   Hinomarus were all done with masks and spray painted.

regards,

Jack

Thanks Scott, things are a little slow now since we've been running since the first of the year. Besides Bsyamato and Jack we've had a bunch of other super talented guys here, if you haven't already check the first page for our completed builds.
