There are so many of these 1/72 kits. I am sure I will never get to all of them. These are the pre-covid kits I started building. Thank you for the kind words!
 
I went on a buying binge just before COVID knowing that it would be harder to buy when I retire. I'm currently looking at tools now though I have most of what I need. Micro punches and chisels are currently the next purchase but the postage and Canadian dollar are killing me at the moment
 
I feel postage has gotten worse as time has gone on. When people want you to pay $15 USD for a 1/72 kit in state, that\s insane! I can't imagine how high it is up there. I do know it is slower to get things.

This seemed like a great idea until I realized the red pattern is in many pieces you have to arrange. It took a while to apply the red flame look. This one is a Aichi D3A1 'BI-231' from IJNS Soryu November 1942. The kit is from Mister Craft. It's okay, but I wouldn't get it again. I still have four more in the stash. The decals were from Print Scale and adequate. You have to take great care because they will fold in a hot second. The final result was well worth the two plus hours spent on the flames.
 
Two of the 2019 builds finally have their decals. A Kawanishi E7K1 IJNS Kinu 2nd Japanese-Chinese War January 1937. It's the very old Hasegawa kit and decals are Print Scale.

No rigging on either one. The second one is actually the E7K1, but I cut off the front section and added on the engine from the parts stash to make it a E7K2 Kawanishi E7K2 'DIII-I' IJNS Sendai Invasion of Malaya December 1941. The decals are also from Print Scale.
