    This is another excellent choice. I look forward to watching you guys work your magic on this one. I have never seen anyone build a surrender Zero before. Having a matching 1/48 Tamiya G4M Betty would look really cool with this one !

    Great choice, but it looks like you just doubled your work :). I have some nice quality photos of this plane if you need them. Just message me with your email and I'll send them over.

    @ Louis
    would look good, but already built a Betty, no space for a second one 😀

    typical Eduard, very good detail and lots of PE parts for the cockpit, but using only some of them

    Wow ! The cockpit looks incredible right from the box. Your Dad has done a great job with it, as he always does. I'm very interested to see how the wings fit against the fuselage. Please let us know how the fit is here. Thank you.

    wings and fuselage joined
    the right side was smooth

    the left side not
    towards the wing leading edge there was some tension, my dad didn´t find out where and why although he did some cutting and sanding of the inner regions
    in the end he did some more cutting and sanding and glued it together by force
    can´t tell if my dad did a mistake or it´s the kit
