looks great! The natural metal finish is very unusual to me for a Japanese plane but it is very attractive.
Did you just build two of them?

Hi Thomas, Mike, thank you for watching. Here is a very interesting article about this bird:arawasi-wildeagles.b..nishi-h6k-mavis.html . This one is a civilian Mavis operated by Dai Nippon Koku K.K. (NKK). The other one, in its military camo was built some years ago. There are some subtle differences between the models, mostly regarding the windows.
The kit was in fact the militar version, but it was easy to make the windows, fillling the holes with white glue. It should have a different propeller hub, but I left those that came with the kit. I made a stupid accident, dropping a bottle of liquid poly cement on the working area, that almost ruined the cockpit transparency 🙁.
