Spent some time attaching the upper wing. It went on smooth and easy. The glue bonds firmer then I thought it would. I didn't like the flimsy plastic provided for the windshields, so I went to the spares box and found two that went on just right. The rigging is going to be challenging for sure.
While applying the decals, one of the wheels plus braces came off. Irritating, but kept on going to completion. Needs one more coat of varnish. The decals were of course challenging being as old as they are. Had some issues, but they all went on. Lost two of the hinomarus, so replaced the bottom ones with some of the Aeromaster ones. The ones provided on the sheet were way too big. Final thing to add are the two supporting wing braces. Both of the resin ones broke and will half to be replaced.
The Kawasaki Ki-3 is almost completed. i will post it once I get the supporting braces remade and applied.
The speck on the hinomarus is a piece of plastic I didn't notice sticking to it. I just had to flick it off.
