Hey,

The Christmas model for my friend. Last year (2024)was the 1/72 109. This year (2025) the P.K.A. I built one for my self, alongside it, as the kit is boxed with two sets of sprues. Mine got closer to being finished but still had to be set aside to get the gift done on time. So now it's my first complete of 2026.

Added detail under the pilot seat. And closed off the front area as the tub left lot of the inside of the hull (?) exposed. Almost entirely done with nernie's, as was the case with the Original SF3D / Ma.K models.

The model has a large canopy, which will become obvious later. And it's supposed to open. Which it did, but a combination of a tight fit, and a somewhat wobbly hinge, which is required to get it all to work, meant all the paint would have been scraped off in short order. So none of this is visible now.

I added stowage. Since mine would not be done on time, I added a little extra work to it.

The strap is made from chocolate coins I received as gifts. Worked pretty well, I think. Hand made buckle.

Legs.

These new kits are a joy to work on compared to the new Wave kits that still use the old Nitto tooling for the leg's and lower bodies, which require a huge amount of clean up.

I added the cable. These smaller Ma.K kits don't come with all the multi media goodies.
