Here he is
Wow of a paint job! Had some trouble fitting the glass!
Note oversised logo
Subject: 8 outa 10 Japanese aircraft are very cool and Tony's one of the coolest with grreat skins. Great subject, woulda given a 9 if it was 1/32 I'm conflicted about the 1/48 scale offerings, on the one hand I love the scale (it's what I built as a kid), but will we see many ac in this scale? Is this the scale we'll see Japanese AC, maybe Soviet stuff. I'm in if that's the case.
Model: 8 outa 10 Rubber wing guns and pitot tub, note to 21st use hard plastic on such things I dont mind gluing 'em on. Obviously the mentioned parts are a problem. They wont straighten out. The wing was VERY hard to connect to the fuselage, have some modeling tools handy. Cockpit didn't fit well either. The rest of the model is very well exicuted. OOPS forgot something, 21st needs to go to a smaller logo if they insist to stamp the underside of these ac. The stamp on this plane is the size of the wing meatballs!
Skin: 9 outa 10 There are several glitches on the ventral side. Slight yellow smudge on the starbord wing. Otherwise beautiful skin.
Lovely little plane 8+ outa 10. I'm starten to feel some love for 1/48.
