I have several more in my stash to build… Ki-45 Nick, Ki-51 Sonia, E-13 Jake… plus a couple of ships. I do enjoy the Japanese subjects.

The Sonia is on my wish list. I've always been drawn to the boxart and the blue scheme.
Thanks,
John

That blue one is eye catching… :hmm: But I’d love to find a scheme and markings used in the Philippines in the ‘41-‘42 campaign for mine.

I like that box art Carlos, but alas, you have shamed me for not entering this GB yet :bag: There must be an applicable Start Trek meme or two for this.. "Time is a luxury you don't have (what rhymes with admiral)" or "I give 60 seconds for you and your gallant sprues" :hmm:
None the less, I Will be looking forward to seeing what you do with this one!

How can you have never built a Zero as well? That’s one of the iconic top 4 WWII fighters… Mustang, Spitfire, Me-109, and Zero :headslap:

Stay tuned for more on this one Chris. I want to get some basic interior painting done soon on this baby.
