Doc72 Posted January 5, 2020 Share Posted January 5, 2020 Hi everybody, in case you haven't been following the recent Floatplanes and Flying boats GB, I present to you my entry to this very enjoyable GB: Hasegawa's N1K1 Kyofu (Rex) in 1/72. It is a very nice kit and I made only a few modifications: the engine exhausts were replaced by brass tube the plastic pitot tube was replaced my Albion Alloy tubes (it doesn't necessarily look better this way, but it is not as likely to break!) I experimented with the stressed skin-effect. It turned out be a bit heavy on the rear fuselage, but given the fact that is was my first try, I am quite satisfied. 16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevehnz Posted January 5, 2020 Share Posted January 5, 2020 Nicely done. I followed the build & was impressed then, still am, the stressed skin look is marvellously effective. 👍 Steve. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
