Out of the box. Did the canopy with decal strips that I had sprayed to match the rest of the plane. Painted with Floquil Concrete for the IJN grey-green.
Don't know how this beautiful build never got a comment in 12 years. You've done great work here. The wing to fuselage seams and wing alignment are spot on, the surface finish is very tight and neat, and your markings look perfect. The only time I've done decal frames was with an Otaki A6M5, one of their first kits, that had the raised frames molded on the inside of the canopy - no way I could paint those, but I won't pretend my decaling equals yours. Congratulations on finishing this Reisen to such a high standard!
