They really do. The seatbelt is new for me too.

I have a few sets of those. I've used them once but I do like them

Different markings different cowlings, 1945, late 1942 and 1942. Put the fuselages together.

Nice little production line going Jess.

Looking like Nakajima Ki-27s. The latter two have the White Home Defense Stripes on the fuselage and the wings. The top one is the 1945 aircraft.

Done for the day. These have taken some time for sure. They received a lot of extra, so the time has multiplied. Hopefully I can finish them by Saturday. My first class starts Monday. I was also fortunate the AK Interactive Yellow RAL 1003 is a good match for the wing IDs. The AK Tactical Markings set turned out to be a great investment.
The fit of the engine wasn't good, so had to sand it down a touch. Gee the propellor wouldn't fit, so expanded it a little bit. This also meant the front piece also had to be sanded just to fit. Might take a break tomorrow, I haven't decided yet. Found some awesome pictures of Japanese aircraft you will eventually see in the Miscellaneous thread.

Looking good. But judging by the pics it seems that the fitting of engine cowling is quite correct. Not sure but I get an impression you installed the back rings backwards. Anyway it seems to be caused by the lack of the dry fitting before assembling. Just my two cents.

Good stuff guys, and you might be right Wojtku - are those cowl rears tapered or straight Jesse?

.Put the first coat on. I am stopping early this evening. This blasted humidity has made it hard to work.
