Erwin Posted April 10, 2011 Posted April 10, 2011 (edited) Hi all, My build in this GB... It will be totally OoB.Even the rods for the rigging are incluided in the kit. The decals are a bit yellowed.So that might need some aftermarket ones.Only problem is that there are no aftermarket decals for this kit. So it will be a combination of decals from other kits.

CPNGROATS Posted April 10, 2011 Posted April 10, 2011 Nice pick, Erwin. I have a 1/48 scale kit of this trainer, I don't think it comes with floats though. It does have the rigging included however... I'm looking forward to your build.. Cheers, ggc
Peter Marshall Posted April 10, 2011 Posted April 10, 2011 That looks an interesting kit, should be fun to follow. For the Hinomaru, they are easy to mask using frisket film or tape, might be worth a go ?
It'sAllGoneHorriblyWrong Posted April 16, 2011 Posted April 16, 2011 It's interesting to see so many older kits fighting their way to the top of the stash for this GB. I'm looking forward to seeing what you make of this. Andy
splinter Posted April 16, 2011 Posted April 16, 2011 The decals are a bit yellowed. A few days of direct sunlight should do it - take a scotch tape and tape decal sheet to the window (from inside of course) HTH, splinter
Erwin Posted April 19, 2011 Author Posted April 19, 2011 (edited) First progress... I have matched the plastic color by mixing semi gloss orange and matt yellow.The fuselage is unpainted.Your guess to find the parts that are painted. Edited April 19, 2011 by Erwin
ancient mariner Posted April 19, 2011 Posted April 19, 2011 That looks a neat kit Erwin. I have the land version so Ill be following your progress with interest.
Erwin Posted May 26, 2011 Author Posted May 26, 2011 It's going to be close to make the deadline.But I will try. Just need to add the engine and do the rigging.
Pilgrim_UK Posted May 26, 2011 Posted May 26, 2011 I'm liking this plane a lot. Are these kits hard to come by Erwin?
Erwin Posted May 26, 2011 Author Posted May 26, 2011 (edited) I'm liking this plane a lot. Are these kits hard to come by Erwin? They are. The wheel version is less rare.But I looked for one on floats for many years. Edited May 26, 2011 by Erwin
CliffB Posted May 28, 2011 Posted May 28, 2011 That's looking very colourful Erwin Great job with that colour matching! Cliff
Erwin Posted May 30, 2011 Author Posted May 30, 2011 Pictures of the finished model are in the gallery.
Troffa Posted May 30, 2011 Posted May 30, 2011 Beautiful build Erwin, very neat looking aircraft and nice to see one of these kits built up!
Jasonb13 Posted May 30, 2011 Posted May 30, 2011 That's excellent Erwin, very sharp and tidy. It looks like you bought it that way, which is really meant as a compliment! J.
