Outstanding workmanship in such a small scale.

 

The Doyusha DC-8-61 is one of the few 1/200 kits I have actually built (about 30 years ago!) and from what I remember it was a gem. Advancing years and ageing eyesight mean that 1/144 is as small as I'll go nowadays.

Good evening,

 

Thank you Dave !

However, this kit has indeed a few mistakes I realised while fiddling with the wings.

 

More to come to complete the 1/200th collection.
