Uncarina Posted March 10, 2025 Author Posted March 10, 2025 (edited) Making some rapid progress now: --added the wheels using the parts from the Kotare kit --modified Kotare part for the pilot's door by scratchbuilding the crowbar --installed the gunsight --painted the canopy --started the weathering. Next up will be adding the replacement cannon and various delicate parts to the exterior. Cheers, Tom Edited February 7 by Uncarina Greif8, vvwse4, Paul in Napier and 14 others 17

This subject aircraft is definitely open to interpretation (something you are quite familiar with), and I'm basing the colors on what were allegedly on board the USS Wasp, color matching with the B&W photo, and the feeling it just looks right. 39 minutes ago, Juggernut said: Hey Tom, just checkin in on this one...very nice and unusual color scheme.

I’m glad this came together at last, it was a bit of a risk combining two different kits with a conversion set. 8 hours ago, Biggles87 said: Magnificent! Thank you very much! I’m glad you like it.
