Acquiring one of the masking sets out there is a must! Decals are in progress now, so on the home stretch.

I agree, your paint work looks great, and I commend you for enduring all that masking ! Man I wish that a main stream company would make one of these in 1/48 scale.

What a fantastic build, Mike! I will definitely build one, after your inspiration.
Congratulations!

A very nice looking model. Gotta admire your masking on the clear parts. More and more I'm starting to collect pre-cut masks for my collection of 1:48 aircraft

Thanks guys! Yes, getting a set of masks for this kit would be a big time-saver.

Hello Mike, @mlicari
Your G3M "Nell" turned out marvelous ! Please feel free to post an article about it in the headlines section at your convenience.

Also please add a small tag at the bottom of the article with "Empire of Japan" at the bottom when you post it. This will allow me to keep better tabs on things and will come in very handy when I compose the final summary article about the group.

Thanks for sharing your build with us, and I hope to see more of your work in the near future. This EoJ group still has a lot of time left, so if you have another subject that would be appropriate, please don't hesitate to start another build journal like this one.

Thanks again !
