Hi All!
I bought this kit dirt cheap, many, many moons ago in a little hobby shop far from home.
It was more than 50% off because there were no decals ( my guess is someone wanted just the Hartmann decals), but there´s no shortage on 109 decals and I got a nice kit for pocket money.
Very nice boxart from the great Shigeo Koike….
I have collected a lot of goodies during these years…
I started (as always with Hasegawa Kits) by gluing the tail section to the fuselage, perfect fit this time.
Some minor assemblies glued…
This box was lingering in my stash without decals for years, then I got my eyes on this Mask set from Montex, and I bought it on the spot!
Yes, I´m a sucker for weird and colorful schemes and I love this Swiss Neutrality scheme!
I will do option number 1, J-705, and yes I know it has the “wrong” type of rudder, but I WANT to do this option!
It´s a bit scary as I have never painted any markings yet, we´ll see how that goes!
More to come soon!
Stefan
