Hi Mitch, In one profile you may see on wing palette the bare metal area in rear fuselage reach even about 50%. I di d not went so far.

Luis Alfonso Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 Hi Jerzy!!!! I have missed this one but watching carefully finally got it!!! I am sure that with all the nice and wonderful masterworks presented here, there is more than one starting to collect japanese related items, as your fine work is very inspirational. Sure your work is selling many more japanese forces kits than the advertisementes in magazines. I like the way you have finished this one with this colourful finish and version you have got, really a very nice looking model. Thank you very much for sharing, Cheers, Luis Alfonso 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
