1. Folding the Eduard seatbelts prior to painting. 2. The result shown in the next image will prove to be wrong.. 3. If you're going to build this kit, di purchase the Eduard masking set. Six stickers for this part alone... 4. No jury awards for this kit, as the bomb bay will be shut. I thought there's already plenty of model planes with open bonnets / inspection covers / bay doors / gear doors etc. I'll instead focus on the beautiful lining of this plane. 5. The pre-painted photo etch pieces have an unnatural shine to them. This will be corrected later using oil paint. 6. Coming back to #3, here are two of the six stickers in situ. 7. Some are not large. 8. All six in place.. I thought. 9. But blessed be macro photography! I changed my mind when I saw the above picture and corrected the position of one sticker. 10. As mentioned before, the 'side panels' are wrong as they interfere with the 'wing tabs' which will go here: 11. Dryfitting, marking and cutting with Xuron through the brass. 12. On the next photo the brass is cut to shape. 13. Mind the little desktop though, designed by Yokosuka engineers to enable pilots to solve sudokus and draw manga figures during calm flights. Next photo shows that the desktop straight versus the pilot's instruments as well as at the right height. 14. Eduard put this wrong in their instructions though. Photo hereunder shows (1) the actual situation; (2) how Eduard thinks it should be; (2) how I think it should be implemented into the kit (3). Some changes needed to be made.- 27 replies

It went a different direction than planned so lets try again in the correct sub-forum ********************************** OK I need a break from my Wiffy Walrus (those struts nearly broke me!). Here what I picked off the shelf: Yokosuka D4Y3, model 33, Suisei The box says 1/72 but a little research suggests 1/75. I'm not a rivet counter or micrometer user and as other reviews say it's basic but otherwise fine that's good enough for me. I did come across a query on fuselage diameter but this could be related to the iffy scale. Instructions are a single double sided A4. As per the plastic it is simple but effective. Decals are Hinomarus and...err... On to the plastic. Sprues (and loose bits & 'glue') ...tbc
