Hi guys, here is my first complete airplane after four years, it is out of the box with addition of the seatbelts and some small scratchbuilt items.

















Kind regards, Sven.

The fit and finish look wonderful Sven, but there's one minor little oops with the landing gear: They're each in the wrong wing. The poor pilot's going to get an unpleasant surprise when he tries to retract them...

What did you use for the Ame Iro? It looks spot on.

I mixed Lifecolor Tan with White by Vallejo Air, I used my Illiad design paint chips to match it.


Kind regards, Sven .

Sven,

Super job and finish.

Don't worry about the gear, we all do something like that. Ask Russell [Siderius] about my Sabre Dog tanks.

Thanks Fred!


The biggest problem seems to be not to rush when I'm close to finishing the model, I think Ill avoid that by starting with wheels and gear.




Kind regards, Sven
