I agree completely Matt. When Kotare releases the Vb Trop I’ll be building another.

 

Cheers,  Tom

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

Thank you John! 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.

Thank you! I’m glad this came together at last, it was a bit of a risk combining two different kits with a conversion set.

Thank you John! I appreciate it. I’m just so glad that the Kotare and Tamiya kits blended well together to make the build happen.
