    I'll be doing this with some improvements. The canopy, additional engine detail and some painted markings in combination with decals are on the list.

    The reason you can't see it now is I haven't built it yet. All
    kidding aside, I haven't posted pictures of the kit which by the way is the same as the Hasegawa kit. When Mania went out of business Hasegawa obtained the molds.

    Your molds must be even crisper than mine, first release Hasegawa ones, them are as crisp as they can get. How is this possible?
    Looking forward to your result, Dale.
    All the best, Sir!

    Thanks Spiros. The molds are nice and crisp as your 1st release Hasegawa are. I've seen late re-pops of the Ki-27 and the molding is not as good but it's the canopies which are really bad. In my view no mater what it will be a big improvement to the overall look of the model to replace the kit canopy with a Squadron vacuform .
