Hi Mates, a japanese quickie?? Hm not really fit will be a bigger challenge than you would expect of a japanese 90's kit.

Hi and welcome mate.. nothing glued yet just dryfitting but you can already see trouble ahead..🙂
As this is the rerererere-release of the kit from 2015, there is also a fair amount of flash and warped parts to deal with!
On the other hand it is still the best and beside the 70's Revell tool only
Irving in 1/72!

WoW. Very good start, Daniel. Will watch. 👍
And You are quite right. I think it's much better of old Revell but it'isnt modern molds at all.

Thank you very much Alex, very much appreciated words mate 👍
And yes a fair amount of filler and sanding ans rescribing will be necessary 🙂

I thought this kit would be better. It seems that the rear of the fuselage has a difficult adjustment.
This is taking shape, Daniel! 👍

That cockpit interior looks lovely! The transparencies seem to fit really nice, or is it just in the photos?

Hi Mates, you guys are the best and your words are very much appreciated!
Startes closing the gaps!
@ thomas thanks mate and yeah the clearparts fitting well!
@ cuajete the problem is that Fujimi tried to realize the very diffrent back Fuselages of the different models in a 3 out of 1 way!

So the midfuselage gaps are filled but as feared rescribing will be necessary to restore the sanded panellines and surface details. Did some scratching to the total empty back of the cockpit either

Did some future on the Transparent parts. Worked out quite good in my opinion, even for those thick parts..

Hi, and the masks are putted on.. Luckily with pfhotos one sees that the fit is not perfect in some areas so that i could correct it, before adding colors...🙂

I'm really liking how light reflects of the painted surfaces - and the revealed canopies 'glazing' look great too 🙂 This is getting more and more interesting, Daniel 🙂

Wow... looks very nice!
The bad fit of the rear of the fuselage does not seem to be noticeable. Good job, Daniel! 👍
