    @fiveten I'm glad that you like it. I had to do a lot of sanding, and added metal finns.

    PS. Engine assembly, and weathering. I think Airfix did good work with Nakajima Sakae 11 engine. I chose the version with the louvers open which gives some insight into the engine.

    @fiveten Final clear coat. I have accident during position lamps painting, and I had to repaint the underside of the wing tip. It drave me crazy! After repainting on silver, and setting new clear coat on tip I repainted blue position lamp and gave a little wash, and another clear coat. Meh... I attached wing tip after repainting, and overall look on model. Another step canopy, and fitting main landing gear.
