You look like your having a lot of fun with that kit Jack.   I know I am liking what your doing to it.

She looks perfect to me Jack! 

And nice scratchbuilding- doncha just love limited run kits??? 

John, cool work on the flying bomb.

bsyamato, all kinds great work on the various subjects.

------------------

Decalling is complete, followed with some detailing.  Using aluminum foil (the kitchen variety), added some strips to the landing gear supports, and same deal with the pitot tube on the port wing strut.  That whole contraption was scratch built as nothing was provided in the kit.

This was my go to reference for that particular detail:

Jack

Wow, you're almost done now, nice work as usual! 

More yesterday :)

Decals, glued dolly pieces and other details:

Great work there guys! 

John: Really nice work on the Ohka. 

Bsyamato: Moving right along, I love the worn look on the prop warning stripe on the float. 

Well done on the Ohka John :)

Last night Pete's updates:

Highlights and postshading , red stripe on float painted and partially sctatched ,yellow stripes after a tiny gloggy layer and glossy layers for decals

ok, here's some updated photos of my Ohka flying bomb.

John

Hey John, sure no problem at all. I'll get you changed over on the roster when I've got a little more time but consider it done. 

is it to late to change what is on my list?  I want to delete the 1/48 Zero and add a 1?48 Testers Ohka flyinh bomb.

I am enjoying seeing all the unique and interesting subjects in this GB.  Very nice work!

 

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.

Thanks Cliff :)

Straightway the painted pictures :)

Hey Jack, she looks perfect! 

Bsyamato: Always nice to see the model together and ready to cement everything in place.

Perfect finish Jack :) 

Last night painted main colors but was too late to take pictures 

here last pictures withouth paint, test fitting with struts glued to wings  but not toghether , as the float ,not yet glued . Also done holes for wiring

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.

Jack

Sure, you're welcome to!

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

Hi everyone, I was wondering if I can do a x-over with my AM62 that I am building for Pearl Harbor?  Just started today.

Very true my friend! 

Think I'll play some horror movie DVDs this weekend while trying to get some modeling done. 

Gamera

Wow, you are moving right along! Gosh, I need to get something finished, ended up playing computer games most of yesterday evening- maybe I can get something done this weekend... 

 

PC games are destructive for modelers 

.. and recently i downloaded one..

Nice work, looks like you're almost ready to put the cockpit in there and close her up. 

 

done :D :D

more last night:

Added seat belts and glued floor and rear ip to the walls

Nice work, looks like you're almost ready to put the cockpit in there and close her up.

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. 

 

Also i have the Shin meywa with similar rivets but i'll just erase and put panel lines :)

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

Last night finished to add details to the cockpit

Side walls, notice the bomber sight i glued in sleep mode on the right

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

T(h)anks Cliff :D

Here more from the Pete last night:

More pieces into right wall

Kit seats seems too small , so two new in plasticard i scratched
