I've started this mini-project building the Kurogane out of the box including the figures. First update shows the assembly before painting.

Thanks mates! 🙂
@Rich, I did all the panel lining/streaking etc with Tamiyas panel liners (black/brown/dark brown).

Thanks for the info! I just love the way you finished this kit! Perfection, in my opinion. I'm always scared to try what you did.

Thank you Rich, Hans and Rui! 🙂
A last update. The figures are finished so I will close this little project. A really nice kit and it was a lot of fun to build and paint.

Do you know the egg-planes? It looks like the first egg-car 😉 And both were invented in Japan! 👍

Perhaps it was inspired by Walt Disney's cartoons (and here is the "proof" 😉 : perthmilitarymodelli..tamiya/tam32558.html)
