I entered in the intermediate class only because I'm not a beginner, but I'm definitely a perennial minor leaguer.
The decal sheet is pretty basic, so I might pick up an aftermarket sheet. One that has options for the opening campaigns of the Greater Pacific War.

Good choice.

Very cool choice

Nice.

Cockpit color says "dark blue grey". I'm going with Tamiya XF50 Field Blue, if no one objects. Cockpit is pretty bare bones. Inaccurate seat, joystick and instrument panel. Will have closed cockpit, so, no big deal.

No objections, your honour.

It begins.

Upper and lower wings attached.
Cockpit painted.
Engine painted - first coat.
Will do another, then dry brush "brass" on the annular radiator.
Need to afix the joystick to the cockpit floor and paint the instrument panel.
