This is the Pro-Modeler kit (the hasegawa kit in Monogram boxing) in 1:32 scale build almost Out Of Box. I only added seat belts from Eduard and rivets based on actual plans of the real aircraft. Construction went straight forward with no problems at all. The fit of the kit is excellent and helps a lot during its build.
I decided to cut and reposition the rudder and the elevators to present the kit to a more “lively” situation.
The painting of the kit commenced after the construction was completed. Gunze colors where used and various shades of the main colors had to be sprayed in order to achieve the desired outcome. National insignia and walkaways where all painted with masks. A final wash and varnish sealed the kit and made it ready for our display!! An excellent kit and a beautiful addition for our self!!
