Hi All
I've just finished. It's Hasegava's kit upgraded with Eduard's zoom, metal barrels from karaya and decals from Kagero's book. It was started ca 10 yers ago and some days ago goes back on my workbench.

Hi Kamil
I think that is a stunning bit of modeling. The weathering is very nicely done. The aerial link on the tail is a good touch. One you should be proud of my friend.
