Reini78 Posted September 18, 2023 Share Posted September 18, 2023 In 1940/41 the development of a more potent Zero successor started but was delayed several times. In the end the maiden flight of the Reppu was in 1944. Only few A7M1 and the more powerful M2 have been built.

Reini78 Posted October 7, 2023 Author Share Posted October 7, 2023 as mentioned, the quality of this kits decals isn´t that good, tend to disintegrate and have bad adhesion secured the larger decals with Microscale stuff, some of the tiny stencils loosened from the model again so gonna leave them away, only did the red outlines on the upper wings DSC_0004 by grimreaper110, auf Flickr DSC_0005 by grimreaper110, auf Flickr 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
