Advice

[Harold1071]

I am going to be building some IJN & IJA kits. I haven't ever done this before on a large scale. I have worked on redoing some 1/72 scale planes I repainted and applied different unit markings. I did build a Aichi Seiran which was the worst thing I have ever assembled in my whole life this weekend, major yuck. I will be asking for advice from time to time and would appreciate any wisdom anyone has.I will keep you all posted.

Japanese planes aren't in my resume but Wayne Little should be a strong source.

Thanks for the links. I am pretty solid on info now. There is a lot more available now then when I first became interested in the subject at 9 years old. I have the books and many references. The building is something I am going to really need advice on. I have done easy stuff. I have seen some of the work posted on here and it is magnificent.

I shall. I sell Osprey books on Ebay and used my winnings to pick up a Nakajima A6M2-N, a Ki-45, a Ki-55, another Aichi Seiran by Tamiya, a Raiden by Hasagawa, some small babies by MAS, five H8K2's and a H6K, but those are easy. I will let you all know which one is first. I am a teacher by profession and with school now closed for the year, I have more time on my hands than I ever thought I would.
