Mocked up - lot's of wing and full length ailerons

It is a stunt plane for sure - google it for some pretty cool videos. Bit of progress. Alclad dull aluminum interior, bit of cockpit work and got the wing and cowl together. We are in the land of no locating pins so it may get interesting when I go to put everything together. There will be filler he...

That looks great. Really nice weathering/chipping. I have zero Japanese aircraft in my stash or builds (no pun intended... well maybe kind of) This makes me want to go down that road. Nice work.

Nice job Stik! I built a DML version of this way back when - yours looks way, way better. I like the weathering and the spatter. Did you do the brush flick technique?

That's a great looking build. My concerns in terms of shelf space have always been horizontal. Clearly you have vertical concerns! Well done. I was active in the San Diego IPMS group years ago and I'm certain they would like to see this. David Weeks was a big real space builder down here.

Thanks for the kind words all. Quite the color pop on my shelf!
