To replace my non-compliant Willow, I will start on this one instead The box actually contains 2 identical kits one which can be built as either military or civil versions. Because my instructions are all in Japanese I will need to research where and when this aircraft saw service and the appropriate colours for it. As hasegawa also released this kit I am hopeful that their instructions may provide the answer ! Parts above showing it to be unstarted, the other kit is moulded in a silver plastic which would better lend itself to the civil version. Annoyingly I have just noticed the other kit has the clear parts missing, which is very disappointing as I was hoping to pass it on to another person to build. I don't think you can get canopies for this aircraft but would love to be proved wrong. This is the version I'm planning to build, any idea which Humbrol colours are applicable ? Below is the posh looking civil versions and some other presumably prewar versions, going on the grey painted finish. Finally the instructions, good job there are pictures ! cheers Pat
