Very time consuming. Some minor tweaks, cockpit needed sanding. The bottom wing and area where engine mounts needs some sanding. The small struts where the cockpit is located don't match up, so you have to fiddle with them for a good fot. Daughter had some rocks she collected for me for ballast, so those went in quite nicely. Going with option 1 for the decals. Those one alone took longer than the other four kits. I did get some PE for the crazy rigging that connects from the wings to the back of the place.

It took awhile. It turns out this was a Divine Wind unit. I picked the scheme because it was so different. Minor things left to do to this one.

That is a very unusual camo.

The authors say it is. There are two photographs of it. This is one of the two found after the war. The color scheme is unusual and very different from what you usually see.That is a very unusual camo.

Took an off day Wednesday. Last night put on all tiny parts for four of the five. F1M2. will get it's tiny parts this evening. I have blood work to do at 11, so I don't like to start and then stop when I start things. I have to work from 1-4 at a BS shop, so I won't able to do anything until 6 or 7. This part would go into what annoyed you today.
