JWM Posted May 23, 2016 Share Posted May 23, 2016 (edited) Hi, The second today very old kit with plus fourty years from doing her - Yokosuka/Kugisho P1Y Ginga in Allies code "Frances". Kit by Revell (https://www.scalemates.com/kits/135250-revell-h-103-kugisho-p1y1-2-ginga). This is bomber version. I also made her in sometime between 1974 and '76. This is my last one Revell old Japan - after Ki 21, Ki 49 Donryu, Ki 45 Toryu, Nakajima Gekko and Nakajima Hayate - which I posted before. The decals had some shift between yellow and background white - I did not tried to correct it. Only upper wing decals are replaced since they became too dirty. I never added too much exploitation - just very few signs of it. Perhaps I was happy with uniiform matt Airfix 21 cover from top... Comments welcome and regards Jerzy-Wojtek Edited July 30, 2017 by JWM Switch to Flickr 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hypnobear Posted May 23, 2016 Share Posted May 23, 2016 Another great looking model from Revell's WW2 Imperial Japanese Aircraft series! This is the only Revell Japanese bomber I have built so far out of the three, but it does build up very nice for it's age 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DennisTheBear Posted May 23, 2016 Share Posted May 23, 2016 Beautifully built model! The silvering on the fin decals does stand out, but doesn't detract from the quality of the build. Nice work! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JWM Posted May 26, 2016 Author Share Posted May 26, 2016 Gents, many thanks for comments on this vintage one! Maybe one day I will do a fighter version from Hasegawa too. Cheers J-W Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lasermonkey Posted May 26, 2016 Share Posted May 26, 2016 I built one of those back in the early eighties, when I would have been fifteen or sixteen. It was probably my favourite model at the time: very detailed and went together very well. I have a couple more that I bought subsequently, but haven't built as yet. It's a handsome looking aeroplane and you've done it justice! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
