    In 1940/41 the development of a more potent Zero successor started but was delayed several times. In the end the maiden flight of the Reppu was in 1944. Only few A7M1 and the more powerful M2 have been built.

    I have this same kit in the stash. So I'll definitely be watching this journal in hopes to someday use it as a supplement to the kit building instructions.

    Your Dad is moving right along. Keep it going !

    Thanks for starting another one for the EoJ group.
