Wayne's Award Winning Models

Love the models, great detail. Especially like the Focke Wolf, one of my favourite German WWII aircraft, another is the ME 262. I used to make models, but lost interest after numerous moves and consequent breakages or loss in the 'moving home' ether. You know, where you are positive you packed them, but they are nowhere to be found.
 
Next set....the inscription was translated as....

SAMURAI FLYING HIGH
MILLION MILES NO FEAR
VAST SKY COLLECTIVE VICTORY

So real, Wayne.
No one can write the Japanese letters so naturally without the knowledge and experience.

According to the testimony of Masaru Ochiai who wrote them on the fuselage, one letter was his mistake.
He intended to write "茜(meaning orange color)" but had writen "晒(meaning to expose or bleach".

Nice work.

I have to say you did a great job matching the chipped paint around the roundel.

I cannot tell a lie...the red and white were separate decals...but they still had to be positioned correctly!!

Thanks Guys...
