Pete resting on the beach..(wip 1)

[gbr-22]

Ohayo gozaimasu gentlemen!
My next project is going to be the beautiful IJNAF Mitsubishi F1M2 Reikan codenamed 'Pete' by the Americans.
The kit is the 1/48 Hasegawa one and the dio will show a relaxation scene in Satawan Atoll, Mortlock islands in early July 1943..

Another close up pic of the Pete I'm going to build..

I made some minor improvements in the tiny cockpit and I am about to put the two re-riveted fuselage halves together..

I'll be back soon, I promise!

Good stuff, and particularly useful, as I'm about to continue work with the same kit, for a friend - my first Japanese type.

I really like the look of that. Keep up the good work.

 

[Matt308]

Phenomenal. You've posted work before here, right? If I recall correctly your last build was equally a beauty with scratch built palm trees showing a downed Zeke?

 

[Matt308]

Ahhh... the Betty diorama. (形) 不思議な; すばらしい
