Makes me question what even is the point of calling something "correction" or "upgrade" set, if You are left with same shape error at the end.

Another bid by QB to make a quick buck, resulting in their customers just wasting money...

While discussing the J7W1, I'd like to throw in another dilemma - should you see the "guts" (engine, installations, etc) throught the main wheel wells (like on Fw190D for example) or not? My logic leads me to the second option. It was only a prototype, so a lot had to be left accessible to groundcrews for quick "bug ironing". Would love to hear other opinions.

I beg to disagree. That maybe applies to the "Dutch defender" box. But "Dutch Patrol" box has significantly more resin goodies inside.

As announced on Scalemates Announcement says "new parts". Boxart seem like previous "Dutch Patrol" box.

This is a compromise solution, often seen in small-scale production, in order to ensure no mold flaws in this part. IMHO, it is always easier to address joints that are not parralel to panels (or along the very panels themselves).

Thanks to all for helping me pin down the colors, and at least a smaller scope to search for serials.

source: Wikimedia Commons Looking at this interesting JRF-5, stationed at NAS Jacksonville in 1941, I can't help but to wonder on couple of things: What was the upper color? Azmodel calls for ANA 608 Intermediate blue on upper surfaces What was the lower color? Azmodel depicts it as just "Light Grey" on lower surfaces... Is there any way to determine the codes on the tail? Thanks for looking!

Sure hope that 'Cannon Fighter' box also gets upgraded.

Dimensionally speaking, Italeri Marsupiale is almost spot-on to plans from "Ali D' Italia" publication. One detail I plan to address is the fabric effect on the rear fuselage. Should be ribs, but given as panel lines. Pretty easy to correct with some streched sprue, though. Only thing stopping me from building it is inability to decide which cammo/decal option to choose.

Superb model, as well as photography. What kind of lighting do You use?

Agreed, the ICM new-new tool (No. 72243 and 72244) is completely different (and slightly better) than the ICM new-tool (No. 72241 and 72242), which is already fantastic. One major difference between the tools is that new-new tool correctly represents wartime wing (6 ribs in mid section), while new-tool correctly represents pre-war wing (7 ribs in mid section).

Nice work on the winter distemper. And (judging by the trap door below) literally DROP THEM OFF to the hospital!

Beautiful work. How would You describe the quality of resin (in terms of air holes and defects)?

Love Your take on the trolley, BTW.
