I just started this one. I was looking for something to build after a long hiatus. So I thought a Tamiya kit would be just the ticket for an easy build.

Neat-o. I really like the looks of that.
To make each build less crappy than the last one. Or, put another way, "Better than the last one, not as good as the next one!"..

It’s Tamiya. It won’t be difficult to build, poor fitting, or awkwardly engineered.

Great choice Borg !
The Seiran is a really beautiful seaplane, it is definitely in my Top-3 of all the seaplanes!

That's a great choice for a build Borg!

I did my first airbrush session in months. Just a black base, using my Badger 350. I used mr Surfacer 1500 black.

Way to go! I've been having some difficulty with my airbrushes lately. Glad to see your model coming along.

Re: Tamiya 1/72 Aichi Seiran
A big update, I haven’t posted all my steps in the build process.
The Tamiya quality is definitely there, nice fit, good details.
First a layer of XF-22, then a wash, some detail painting. And lastly a few decals.
