With all. I would have definitely left the canopy frames alone after the first try. Amazing work sir!

Hello guys!
After taking a little more than 12 months I finally saw my model of the Nakajima Saiun 1st prototype being completed..Of course that wouldn't go so far unless I dealt with the hangar part construction..Anyway, it IS over and I feel relieved and quite satisfied with the result..
Having in mind that the prototype was undergoing some final checkouts and adjustments from mechanics who definitely did not wear their wedding suits,(lol!), I decided to give the wing root and retractive steps area a dirty look just to show the huge amount of work carried out in these areas..
I would like to thank all of you who followed my project all those months! There'll be a final 20th wip showing the finished dio..
Cheers,
Panagiotis.

I really hate to say this, but it stinks this is winding down. It's just been such a pleasure to follow.

Beautiful work Panagiotis, thankyou for posting here!!!
And agree with Dave, but looking forward VERY much to your next project, whatever it may be!

That is exceptional work, simply brilliant, and i don't want to rain on your parade but the dirtyness or weathering of those upper surfaces....just doesn't seem right to me for a prototype aircraft, appears a bit extreme...as in too much.
Having said that it's mean't as constructive criticism rather than attacking your excellent paint work and finish.
Look forward to the full Diorama setting!

To me, it's difficult to present a clean looking aircraft in model form without making it look too toy-like. Whereas Wayne has a good point, I think the model looks excellent and I congratulate you! Looking forward to seeing he finished dio.

Maybe a compromise can be reached by draping a walkway mat over the wing root area (if you know what I mean). Not sure if they would have used a canvas sheet or specialised mat to protect the surfaces during construction in Japan?
