shadowmare Posted June 20, 2023 Posted June 20, 2023 I bulid this one for collector. Make long story short - cockpit from scratch, wheel bays, flaps interior with added many details. Surface rescribed / riveted. Fortunately shapes of original plane were well preserved. Kit is rare, not produced for many years. Urban legend says its molds sunk. Canopy is yellowish because model was placed in diorama showing abandoned plane on one of pacific islands. 12 1

Martinnfb Posted June 20, 2023 Posted June 20, 2023 Spectacular modelling, I would never say this is the accent Takara kit, Bravo! 👍 3
Landlubber Mike Posted June 20, 2023 Posted June 20, 2023 Wow, makes me think about hanging up my airbrush and quitting the hobby. Great job! 3
Bill_S Posted June 21, 2023 Posted June 21, 2023 Now, there's one you don't see very often. Beautifully done! 3
Spitfire Posted June 21, 2023 Posted June 21, 2023 Now that is a rare bird and nicely built and painted as well. Cheers Dennis 3
Steve Eagle Posted June 22, 2023 Posted June 22, 2023 Very well done build. Lots of work needed to bring up to snuf 2
Bill_S Posted June 23, 2023 Posted June 23, 2023 Thanks for posting this. It prompted me to pull mine off the Shelf of Doom - it's 90 percent complete. Scratch built cockpit, and the gear bays are recasts from the Hasegawa N1K2 kit (they fit quite nicely). 1

If you have it in this stage, it's worth to finish. But I don't suggest anyone to buy it and start from 0. Wait for new one, sooner or later somebody will release it, maybe as a 3D print - now its booming.
Rod Bettencourt Posted June 27, 2023 Posted June 27, 2023 That looks fantastic!! Thanks for sharing. Rod 1
