    Hi everyone!

    A few days ago, a present from my good friend @lis arrived at my doorstep. It was the very nice AZ 1/72 D4Y Judy! Upon opening the box, many extras came out, as my friend @lis included 4 different sets of masks and a wonderful Beaver PE set!

    Here are the box contents...

    I think I will not resist doing the captured example, though the orange prototype is also yummy...

    More to come!

    Thanks my friend @lis! Fit needs some attention but nothing really bad.

    Basic assembly done, elevators separated...

    Fit requires some extra attention than your usual Tamiya Mustang, but nothing too extreme.

    Taking a seat and watching with great interest, Spiros @fiveten! I love japanese paintschemes with that dark green, so my favourite would be nr.1 🙂

    Thanks my friends @fxrob and @johnb! All three box schemes are absolutely cool. First I leaned towards the captured one with US insignia, now the orange gains ground, with the IJN green over gray coming dynamically!
