So sorry folks. Work has been really slow, had lots of issues getting the pit painted and then getting the pit and engine to fit. Now filling seams. Lots of fit issues. Hope to have more pics in a few days

Looking good, TJ. Can't help but love those Japanese birds.

BK I agree. Last Xmas I bought a bunch of kits from a local woman who's husband passed. Over half of what I got was Japanese WWII kits

Cliff, can I still join?  Just pulled my Hasegawa A6M3 Type 22 out of the stash. 1/48. Thanks John

 

Sure!!!! Glad you went ahead with your build. I've been a bit under the weather and haven't been on the site. Great work on the instrument panel and engine!

Well done, Ernie, now you need a dusty jungle strip!

 

 

 

Thanks John. That sounds like a great idea for a small vignette. I just may do that.

 

 

 

That will look great specially with a Corsair.

That's a great looking build. The Jack is one cool stubby looking plane.

Whoa that looks amazing John! Great job overall but I love the slightly lighter shade you've done on the control surfaces! 

Posting you now and as always thanks for joining us!!!
