russ c Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 Howdy all, on a roll with two completions in 7 days, so here`s some pic`s of number two: Hasegawas 1/48 Val dive bomber In the markings of an aircraft from No 1 AC. 21st Section 1st Squadron, Aircraft Carrier Soryu............. 8th December 1941, Pearl Harbour Built 99.5% OOB, only additions being some seat belts and aerial wire The dreaded Hasegawa decals behaved quite well on this one, with only a bit of silvering on the fuselage stripes although I did cut them into two bits to get them onto the tail fillet. Hope you enjoy looking at Cheers Russ 37 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
