Nice work Luis. I know what you mean about those drills. I bought 10 x .3mm a little while ago to replace the ones I broke.

Gracias Huge, Wojtek y Wayne por su entusiasmo! 
Again with you, as I intend to be the final stretch of this table
... I leave you with the images with the last details with washes oils and pastels in exhaust systems, motor vents and leaving traces of fire machine guns or cannons (as you can tell, not yet dominated much of the correct terminology and names of some parts aviation)
... Put the bombs and dry after binding, give a hand of matte varnish ...
... which seems to you my painting area or room
An error in my "novitiate", on this occasion in the rush to finish, I did not give the proper masking to transparent parts and I felt "too cool !!" (
) to emulate some masters of modeling and trying to "cover" with bond sheet of good thickness, held with the left hand while I apply the varnish with the right hand, though with folds and cuts to cover the areas that did not want to spray. ... 
I did not do it with due care and varnish "vaporeó" or just splashed transparent parts (which can be noticed in the same photos above exposed) ...
Seeing the good side of this experience, I prepared to remove the transparent very carefully and took the opportunity to remove the spray of varnish and clean them well both inside and outside of each piece (of itself, took several months gathering dust), polish best with sandpaper 3600-12000, applied with cotton swabs NOVUS 2, polish again with a clean lens tissue and then I gave myself the task of retouching a few frames of the cockpit (for which I had to return to match the tone of the fuselage as possible), ... and after the paint is dry, again give them a "sambullida" (a dive) in Future ...
... I removed the glue residue (Micro Kristal Clear) carefully (swabs and water) ... and took the opportunity to give a further admired interioor cab (I think it is what I liked most of the models that take) ...
... As well!
... I removed the liquid Maskol from insignia lights at the ends of the wings; ... I painted with chrome and then with Tamiya clear red and blue insignia lights that also takes in the wings (where the upper wing hinumarus go); ... I retouched the pitot;
... on this occasion to the antenna wire and for first time I used one hair of my lady
, I glued with superglue, I made a few tweaks and being a light hair (between gray and blonde ) ... and with a wet swab into the jar where I keep the oils diluted for washing, I gave a "darkened the cable (gray hair)," ... and I liked how it looks. 
After many photos uploaded to the desk, the latter details will be all show you soon in my gallery (La Galería de SANCER) in the appropriate section of the forum, where also I welcome your comments and opinions.
Infinitely thanking all his visits, healthy criticism, valuable comments and contributions for personal growth and enrichment of the desk I leave you with this picture ...
So I end this workbench, waiting it has been to his liking, I took me a pleasant feeling, several new things were learned and practiced in other, that brought closure to this beautiful model.
Here I am to respond and comment on this desk.
A hug, thank you and see you soon !!

Hello, now here at this workbench.
This is the first model I'm repairing, taking advantage of the fact that I gave it to my brother-in-law (my sister Delia's husband) while visiting them for Christmas at their home in Metepec, Estado de México.
The repair was simple: just replacing the antenna cable, which was broken.
I have already taken photos.
When I return to Mexico City next year… (hehe, on January 2nd or 3rd), I'll install IrfanView on the laptop and will be able to upload images and photos to the forum again.
(Let's see if I remember)
From here, May everyone with their family and loved ones have a happy 2025 with my best wishes.
Saludos y hasta pronto amigos

Working on this photo task, I found out that the IrfanView app is not available for iOS.
Among the most "user-friendly, complete, and free" options, I chose Compress Photos & Pictures. I'm just starting to get familiar with it now that I only have my smartphone with me (since I'm away from my city).
I'm sharing photos of the Nakajima posing on my sister's work table, where she enjoys various crafting hobbies in her spare time.
I hope the information can be useful for iOS cell phone users and I hope the photos are within the required 800 pixels. Please confirm, because I could not identify the final size (yet

If I click on your thumbnail above, I see this
If I click on the enlarge button it really gets big
I use this editor on my phone. Pretty easy to use but you have to put up with ads unless you pay for it

That is a beautiful machine Luis. I also checked your thumb nail by pulling it up, taking a copy and checking it's size on my PhotoPad. It has come up at over 3200pixels and it is a very clear and sharp pic.

Nice to meet you, my dear Vic, and thank you for your comment.
The important thing is to know that these photos are clear, and have the weight and size so that no one has difficulty viewing them from their devices and they comply with the requests of our forum.
I send you a big hug to you and yours.
Gracias amigo
