I can't wait to see it under way... You guys have picked another good one ! I'll be looking forward to seeing more of this one in the future.

@George
thanks for the hint
looked at a Shoki my dad has already built and there the underwing hinomarus are smaller than the upper ones but still slightly overlap the ailerons, we´ll see how the ones in this kit are...

so, finally started

my dad decided not to drill out the seat holes but to only paint them black

This looks very nice, and the seat painting is a great way to replicate the lightening holes without having to drill them. Well done.

Great! Following along.

I can see the beautiful lines of the Toyo slowly emerging.
