shadowmare Posted April 18, 2023 Share Posted April 18, 2023 Hi all! Thats my first post here. Trumpeter kit with added Eduard PE interior, some cables. 1mm steel rod used for making landing gear more sturdy, large amounts of fishing lead inside nose. Master gun barrels. Painted using Gunze SM II. I was inspired by Kagero fantastic profiles inside Pacific Lightnings, decals are from this book.
