When I posted a link to my out of box review for the ancient Farpro Japan (nee Aoshima) C6N1-Saiun, a lot of people thought it was crazy to even try it! That’s what a lot of people in my model club thought too. Of course, there were others who thought it would be fun to just smash it together and see what comes out.

I’m somewhere in the middle. I want to do what I can to make this very old “diamond in the rough” at least somewhat shiny. Well, okay, making it less of a block of coal than it is now will do for me! To that end, I have begun to steadfastly attack this little monster. I mean, you can’t expect me to just LEAVE it unbuilt when it looks this bad, can you?

I’ve managed to make some progress, although it’s definitely a bit more of a challenge than I would have imagined even seeing how rough it is. She’s not together yet, but at least she’s got a floorpan now!

Check out my progress here:
