Fantastic job! The scallop on the cowl is really well done Thanks man! A bit of Tamiya curve tape got the job done in just a couple of minutes.  |

I had this kit in my stash for the longest time and should've built it but I ended up getting rid of it to lower my stash count. This model just builds up so dang nice just as this one portrays. I've always liked the lines of this aircraft as they've had such a menacing look to them. You did one heckuva job with this one dupes.

I can check my stash...I might have an extra kicking around?  If not, there's the new 1/32 kit coming out soon. Droooool. |

Lemme know on that possible extra Val because I'll be interested in that for sure. A 1/32 scale Val?? That sounds REALLY cool but too big for my small display area. lol . Gonna have to check that out. |

WOW!!!!!! That frickin' crazy right there!!! Thanks for the link! The thing that I had the most problem with was finding reference material in regard to colors and details on this bird. |

I'm sure there will be lots of info available once this kit releases. Supposed to be APRIL!

At one point I got very obsessed with researching all of the Japanese WWII aircraft that Hasegawa produced in 1/48 - that ended up spiraling into every manufacturer. I haven't updated the list in a bit, so it's likely somewhat out of date. Trying to figure out how to copy/paste an Excel table into the forum...it isn't working. Hmmmm.  |

How I do it is to open up Paint first. Then I pull up the spreadsheet and highlight the whole sheet, then Control C, go to Paint and hit Control V. That puts it in photo format which can be saved and uploaded to an image hosting service. You know what to do from there. |
