Tamiya 1/72 Aichi Seiran

Post by BorgR3mc0 »

She is finished. Not my best build, not my worst build. Two main faults, top layer of green obscures all the black. I actually like the bottom better the the top of this model...
Secondly the decals where really bad. I just could not get them to conform, there are some rips in some.
Conversely I am quite happy with the dolly...

All comments are welcome.

Very beautiful looking build. The beaching trolley is a fantastic model by itself

Well done! The dolly is a nice touch.

As I've said before we see all the faults in our own work but when presented to others these things are almost never truly noticed.

For the life of me i cannot see what you are talking about but I'll take your word for it. It looks great from where I'm sitting if that counts for anything.
Now that we know that.... What have we learned?...

Very nice! I have a thing for float planes - someday I'll do a collection. That one is a beauty. :shoutout:
Thanks,

Agreed, that is a sensational model! I don't see any issues either!
