Thank you Rob. It's a nice kit and a easy build but markings, etc are a little limited. I'd recommend getting the Kagero book, which comes with decals, before starting a build.

Thanks Phil. The new camera should put a end to all the crappy pictures!

Yes he did.

Thanks Harv!!

The little voice in the back of my head keeps telling me to consider the HB 1/32 B-24D. How about some input from you guys about this kit. Worth the money, etc?

Thank you! I tried to be a bit subtle on those.

Thanks Carl. I just couldn't bring myself to trash it out.

I hadn't thought of that! Thanks.

This will be the Academy Minicraft 1/72 kit with Pyn-Up decals. I'm not sure it goes here on LSM since it isn't large scale, etc. Let me know moderators.

Thanks Gaz!

Finished. Check RFI.

All done with this one. The art and photos I have show it in a very weathered condition. I didn't want to do that so I made it as it might look before all the weathering. Just some moderate weathering, etc. After market includes Barracudacast wheels and Kagero decals. Painted with Xtracolor. I replaced the kit exhaust stubs with some from a Hasegawa P-40. I think they are a bit more accurate. Bear with me while I get used to my new camera! I hope y'all like it.

Thank you Harv. I think my new camera will work out just fine.

Thanks Martin.

A comparison to my earlier build of this kit. Very noticeable I think.

I replaced the kit exhausts with some from the Hasegawa P-40. The kit exhausts appear to me to bee slightly over-size. I think the P-40 ones look much better. Still a little touching up needed.

Thank you. I finally got tired of trying to get my old camera to work properly so I "bit the bullet" and bought a new one. Seems to be okay.

Thanks Ron.

Thanks Carl. The 2 photos I have show it really weathered but I don't plan to do that. Moderation.

Another test shot. Yes, over sprayed with Alclad Kleer Flat. (A little fuzzy this one.)

Bought a new camera and this is my 1st test shot. MO BETTA!!!! LOL

Enamels. That's about all I ever use except in a pinch.

Thanks Carl. Credit goes to Xtracolor on this one. Great paint.

As of today. Decaling is next. (I have been adjusting and readjusting my camera settings, etc but still not a satisfactory improvement).

Well, as they say, "If momma ain't happy then nobody is happy!"
