Actually, I wasn't exactly behind that one, more after the A5M Claude, but on my search I found the Nate relatively cheap for 30€ + pp (they are usually sold in the 50€+ range). Well, that's fine too, and actually, I like the flush tulip shape of the nates cowling almost better. And as my ISP sold me a new high speed connection without informing me of the need for a new modem/router, I actually had a good reason to spend some time on that babe over the weekend...
Inside you find some well executed shortrun sprues with pretty fine details. No location tabs, as usual with shortrun, and I expect quite some work to fit the wings to the fuselage. A bag with some fine resin parts and a sheet of photoetch parts, decals for 3 aircraft, which look good to me on the first sight.
Work starts on the cockpit. I added some wire to spice things up and I am almost ready to hit it with some paint. Just one resin piece to add on each side. And I'm going to officially hate the guy who disturbs the result of my imagination with a real wiring diagram...
The guns. I replaced the intended resin springs with some selfmade ones from copper wire. No clean-up neccessary on these, look better and they won't break if you apply a little to much force trying to remove them from their stubs.
I hope you enjoyed my efforts so far. Now its ime for some color...
