Is the stand going to involve 3d printing clear?

I do have the a, b, and c variants, one of my Hasegawa Type 52's has the parts for the a and b and I have a Tamiya kit for the c. Not too sure the S with the oblique cannon has been kitted, but I think it was a field modification of an a or b and I will give up trying to do all the field mods! Also,...

Nice save, Tom. I have 5 of the ICM MIG 3 kits in case anyone here just has to have one, three kit numbers, 48051, 48051, and 48025. All but the one ending in one have several figures in them. I think at one time they were as cheap as the first ICM Spitfires. I haven't built any of them yet so I don...

Thanks, everyone for all the nice comments. Still have the A6M3 type 22, A6M5, A6M7, and A6M8 to go in 1/48.

Chris, I don't think there is any right way to do it but it wasn't too bad with the floats on, other than being careful to not knock off the tip floats. Here are a couple of near finished pictures.

At least its on the bottom, but the butterfly flaps cross it, that will be fun...

Looks about right to me, John. I wish there were more of this kind of thing in 1/48, maybe a D-7, D-8, and a Cat 12 grader. They made 9000 D-8's, a few more D-7's than that, and many Cat 12's in WW II, all over the place building airfields. If I read the description in the instructions correctly, th...

Picked this one up to use with my Rufe. I was surprised to see the mis-spelling of the name on the radiator but the marking on the plastic is right. Komatsu is still a big manufacturer of construction equipment.
