Hi all!
My latest dio project started on 23rd October 2009, exactly 68 years after the Betty's maiden flight..The kit I used was the nice Tamiya one while some other accessories were purchased too..

This profile found in Osamu Tagaya-san's book 'Betty units of ww2', immediately caught my attention and took me no more than a couple of days to make my decision to build it as I liked its weathered look..At this point I should mention it was my first attempt with Japanese planes and as you can see in my signature surely not the last one!!:D

I had loads of good photos from the Internet so I decided to treat the interior of fuselage with added detail:
