I think I’ll be going for the Imai 1/5000 kit gifted to me by my good friend Tony. I will have to get some pics together.

That’s too bad, Alan is a great guy and hope they land on their feet!

Thanks for asking Thom!

I’m happy to report that this bird 99% finished! I’ve been really busy with a kitchen Reno, but I’ve been chipping away at this build and it’s about to wrap up. I ended up re painting the wings. The pilot and canopy are done and just need to be fitted with some ova glue.

Looks great! Photos came out well!!

What Peng said; also if you have a super glue spill you can use Debonder to remove it without damaging the plastic. It will remove paint also but you can repaint the area. Check for it at your LHS, Amazon etc.

As to the second issue, you could use a drill bit to open the female mounting holes SLIGHTLY, or you could use a bit of sandpaper to LIGHTLY shave down the diametre of the male insert peg. Just take it slow and test fit until you get the fit that you want.

Holy moly those 2 listings are $300+! That seems like those inflated eBay prices. Does anyone know what the original price was?

Almost done then screwed up the roundel on the wing…in the process of replacing it and flattening the No steps placards.

Anyone know where to get a copy of this kit?

So it appears that none of these links are working anymore?

Some more WIP shots:
