Here is my 1/72 scale Tamiya Nanzan trainer I recently built, this one was built O.O.B. and painted with Model Master enamel paints.

An excellent looking model as always! I am about receive my first Sword kit. It is of the Aichi B7A "Grace". A IJN torpedo/dive bomber, it is a real looker of an aircraft and I am excited to see how the Sword kit measures up. Russell

Thanks Russell,
If you run accross this kit buy it, its one of the better 1/72 scale aircraft models I have built and was great fun to put together.

Nicely done! This kit is on the shelf of the LHS, but the box art is lacking and really doesnt sell it. On the other hand your build is making it look much more interesting

Very good work, especially in this scale. If only there was a kit of this plane in 48!

Thanks for looking Naseby,
A 1/48 scale model of this aircraft would be most welcome. Trainers of the Axis powers are not well represented in model form...Hasegawa or Tamiya needs to make the two seat trainer versions of the Bf 109 and Fw 190, they would be good sellers.
