Andrea MorrisIv'e put some pics up of progress so far. Cockpit is painted & washed. Just the bit I hate most, the PE seat-belts to-do! Then the fuselage halves can be joined.

Andrea MorrisOk! Seat-belts done, cockpit installed, fuselage together and tail planes on. I've decided on one wing up, the other down. Some filling & sanding is required on the starboard wing root. Then she should be good for primer.

Andrea Morris@Daniel @Erik Thanks guys, much appreciated. The underside has been primed with gloss black & painted with duraluminium whilst the upper surfaces have had IJN dark green (Nakajima) applied. Now for the markings to be sprayed on.

Andrea MorrisTail markings (Montex) have been sprayed on and the leading wing edges have also been painted. Just the main insignia to do before varnishing.

Album info
The Nakajima B6N Tenzan (Japanese: "Heavenly Mountain", Allied reporting name: "Jill" ) was the Imperial Japanese Navy's standard carrier-borne torpedo bomber during the final years of World War II and the successor to the B5N "Kate". Due to its protracted development, a shortage of experienced pilots and the United States Navy's achievement of air superiority by the time of its introduction, the B6N was never able to fully demonstrate its combat potential.
