I started this evening one of my favorites of the Japanese Army much their version of the P-47 in my book just has that bulky look about it.I painted the interior colors Tamiya Interior Japanese Green 71 very close to MrHobby 23 letting that part dry overnight but I could not stop there.The fuselage builds like a ship model with three bridges that really align and stabilize the fuse.I also went ahead and started the tail,tailplane and the landing flaps the model just builds like many little sub-assemblies!I rather like!I will probably have the copit finished tomorrow.

I have gotten a the copit just about finished only thing left now is the bottles behind the seat.The two yellow handles on top of the main control are PE from a 1/48 kit with white glue then painted.The AC on display here in the US shows two red and three yellows bent inward.I have AM seatbelts in the stash/wall just need to locate.

This has been moving slower than expected on my part being the kit fits so well together.The belts from RB were lets say a bit of a challenge or maybe I been spoiled by Quintas?I spent three nights doing these belts one night just walking away....The pics I wish I would of looked at one last time before assembly being a little fuzzy.The wing is glued,canopies masked and working the LG's now.I am hoping things start moving a little bit quicker.

Well I got some paint laid down tonight JN Green Tamiya Acrylics over AlClad Silver 101 on the whole plane.I was spraying the Future straight was pooling up on the forks I was kinda hmmmn?I usually find that being the mixture to thick so I added alcohol turned cloudy Nope out it goes.I then added MrColor Leveling thinner stayed clear and what a difference and it dried to the touch so fast. The P-47 just to show the George was about 85/90% that of a P-47! ;)

Beauty. Never tried to spray Future. Good to know it goes with Mr. CLT. That stuff is rare now. I did find two bottles in Hong Kong but the shipping was more than the bottles which is odd as usually the shipping from there is chea[
