Hi Reinhard! I would call you (your father) a fast but quality builder. Looking great so far, becoming better and better.

@Erik
sooner or later i finally will build a model again 😉

engine and cowl mounted, flaps done in downward position to bring some more life to the model

attached the one piece canopy for now to have the cockpit aread covered for painting, gonna apply the multipart canopy later

Great! I love the chipping too!

my dad decided to do the camo pattern by using the paint instructions as template, copy and cut it out and fix it with blue-tac on the model

will be a step by step work

first test looks ok, used Gunze H59 IJN Green
