I recall that despite being thought extinct, once one was caught, some Japanese millionaire sought to catch more so he could eat them (for longer life)! Probably the only reason it's not extinct, is that humans didn't know it was there to begin with. How sad.

Which is totally different than what the Monogram kit provides.

I've seen at least three variations of the scheme, but have no idea which one is "accurate", or if that really even matters.

Thanks for the great inputs, guys, it's much appreciated.

I may just take you up on that. I'll send a PM shortly. Thanks.

Does anyone here have this kit and could scan the pentagons for me? I bought a used kit, but it unfortunately had no decals. Once I have the pentagons, I can have masks made and finish this cool little kit. Thanks a bunch,

Some time back, I asked about AliExpress trustworthiness. That thread seems to be gone now, probably deleted during a routine purge, but the general consensus being that they could be trusted, so I thought I'd share my one and only experience (so far). A few weeks back I decided to just go for it, so ordered this (getting harder and harder to find) Alseye 6 channel fan speed controller for another PC that I'll soon be building (for the hobby area). The controller arrived today, and I'm a very happy, happy guy.

Musashi, Tirpitz, Akagi, Kaga, Soryu, Hiryu, Shokaku, Zuikaku, KGV, Prince of Wales,...

I might as well be the first one to say something like this, but I'd really rather have a Vindicator.

I could most certainly live with that; the Italeri 1:32 kit is just stupid expensive.

Many Corsairs got thoroughly trashed in their appearance.

I'd love me an F9F,... perhaps one day.

I don't know that I'd be willing to bet on that, but that's just me.

How totally cool, Brian.

I agree, it's the -1A for me, definitely.

I'll be reviewing the HMH title on the Mirage III soon, but have no idea if any Australian Mirages are featured or not.

My guy's looking into it now. It's unfortunately not going to be very large, as up-scaling it seems to lose detail.

It's pretty extensive, I'll say that. I'm presently trying to wrap up Pacific Profiles 8 (Japanese Floatplanes), and hope to finish it this week sometime. Then I'll jump on these four. The Red Flag book is just tons of great color photos, wall to wall. The RAF book weighs a whopping 3 pounds, 11 ounces, just huge.

I received the 3D file today, and have forwarded to a pal to get a price on a high resolution print. We'll know in a day or so (I hope).

Pm on the way.

Very, very nice. I love it.

And four more, from Casemate.

A recent addition to my stash. I've always liked the F-80, and this series from Osprey is really quite nice.

I go with an aluminum color, followed by Tamiya clear red, green, or whatever.

Osprey produced this title. I don't have the book handy, but it might go some way in illustrating different schemes.
