this is the old Arii kit, not so detail but the best and only I know, the decals are good, 2 versions(one overall orange, and the build one)

I remember seeing that kit in a few LHSs many years back. I have never seen one built until now. Very nice work!

thanks, for a model often seen on markets but no one want to build this it is a big fun to seen you like this, old Otaki/Arii is not so bad.

Nice one Cherrylock.
It looks like a string of rigging has become loose on the right side. you can often get these tight again by (gently!) heating them. for instance with a hot iron nail.
