I didn't know B5N had brackets to support the folded wings. This is the great thing about scale modeling (well, not the way I did it). They're museum quality and as close as I'll ever get to inspect an airplane that ain't around anymore.
 
Looks great and happy the decals finally settled down. I've had some luck with stubborn decals using a fine cloth soaked in very hot water and then gently pressed onto the decals

Interesting never heard of doing it that way. I will keep that in mind for the next kit with decals made out of disused vinyl floor tiles.

Up until about a month ago I knew next to nothing about the B5n. I find that making the model almost makes the plane come alive in my mind. I am now reading up about the Sino-Japanese air war, the Japanese didn't have it all their own way the Chinese air force fought very well despite the circumstances.
