Aichi E 13 Jake Nichimo 1:48
Report from the construction of Aichi E 13 Jake, Nichimo 1:48 Why the model released in 1970? Because there is no other. This basic Japanese seaplane has only one release on such a popular four-eight scale. It's a wonder. Nichimo released him as a toy propeller-driven electric motor. The model has no cabin interior and this strange division of the model. Forced battery replacement from the motor.

I decided to glue the two halves of the hull and glue the top of the cabin and cut the hull along to have a classic hull. The idea can be good and your life. The plastic was old and very fragile. Here are photos from cutting out the interior.

I wanted to stick a thin plate and stick it on the resin, but it was too springy. Canvas of glass wool and CA did the trick.

With this repair using a glass mat, you need to do it in such a way that the mat is laid on the inside and only soaked with CA glue. Not the other way around. When the mat is impregnated, before it is pressed it will wrinkle and will be replaced. Tested. At first I wanted to glue a thin plate to the resin, but this one was too springy. A way worth recommending.

I glued the hull and glued the top of the cabin with CA glue.

After leveling and sanding the hull with armored rivets, it was the turn of the putty.

I gently cut the model in half with a razor ball. I have a classic two halves, where the hull is leveled without any faults or shifts.

Inside the fuselage I evened out everything and also applied a patent with CA mat and glue.

Before gluing the ribs I made new lines of sheet metal division and riveting. Then I grew it all with Tamiyowski Panel line accent color. Then everything is clearly visible and there is time for corrections.

Very interesting

 

[Airframes]

I agree.

You can easily get inside. Lack of any valorization additions and plaques, you have to do everything yourself.

I wonder what color to paint the interior of the cabin. Hasegawa in its 1:72 model proposes H 63 metallic blue green. The materials available by The Maru Mechanic, photos of the cabin suggest that it is matt. What colleagues do you suggest.

Great work so far Roman. Wayne Little might be able to help with the cockpit colour.

Following the trail, at the Aichi Seiran factory there is a yellow painted green.
