    had a lot of masking fun...

    only mask I found for this model was one from Dead Design Models, luckily yellow kabuchi tape, so nothing could go wrong

    You will be able to grow tomatoes in it with all that glass! Comin' along nicely, but then again, that is just what we have come to expect from the Spreitzhofer family! Wery nice indeed.

    As ever, it is good to get to the paint-point in a build - looking forward to the reveal, but please keep those updates coming!

    Wow ! This is a kit I have been looking at getting for the collection. I like what I see here as far as the details and fit. Your Dad has done some wonderful work, and it's hard to believe that he already has paint on it... That says something about the quality of the kit, and the skill set of the builder.

    Please keep these pictures coming...

    That is a very different and interesting set of colors compared to later Japanese planes! Very nice indeed.
