This is one of those builds that continue to prove that it's the modeler.......and not the kit that make all the difference in a good build like this one Carlos. Along with the extra detailing and weathering that you've put into this build, one would be remised if they didn't mention that totally awesome camo job that you've given this plane. Excellent results in every way on this.

Client, Brent, Leon, Tony, Joe, Brandon, John, James, & TJ... Thank you one and all for your kids words on this build. A good kit helps but in the long run, it is the modeler that makes it into something... like Conan's Riddle of Steel... ![](https://i.postimg.cc/X7JqsJZV/3076638e-4eee-4b39-a205-d1c7d7e180c2_text.gif) contemplate this, on the Bench of Woe ![;)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/wink.png)

Thank you Tobi! That mottling portion of the airbrush sessions was quite enjoyable.

Great pics Stik. Figures look sharp and add great scale reference. Really turned out nice. I have the Hasegawa Oscar in the stash and may just try this camo. 😨

Thanks John. Gotta love those Tamiya figured from their Zero kits. Well, aside from the pilot, he’s IJAAF and came with the Frank. 😉

for what you said was a problematic kit, this looks amazing. Thanks Lyle. I wouldn’t call this kit problematic when built as it comes from the box. Its’ challenges were mostly self inflicted when I modified the wheel wells and cockpit… 🤨 At least in regards to any fit problems.

I like the additions to the Oscar Carlos! From the looks of your collection Otaki Arii kits build up really nicely
