Well the good news is that this thing is finished.
The bad is that half of the glamor shots are not worth printing.
When I went to install the landing gear struts, one of the alignment pins was missing
, so a small hole had to be drilled and a piece of sprue was glued in 
. Latter, everything was epoxied together.
With that out of the way, the seat was next. So far I have managed to break the kit seat and the after market seat several times
This is a hybrid of the remains of both seats which I also managed to break . :vmad
I managed to install some Eduard prepainted seat belts without any more trauma :fencing
Well, when, when I come back I will take more pitures . Hopefully, they will be better.
Thanks for looking . Hope you like it .

James , I don't mean to say it's easy but that's how I have managed to keep the collection growing without running out of space and still not having them look like toys.
If you look hard enough, you might even see the mooring rings but they are black also.

Well, I got some more beauty shots .
This has been a very enjoyable build. Any problems referred to were due to my big thumbs. :S
Although I have built quite a few Japanese planes , this is my first in the early paint schemes and I like it very much. I hope you will like it also
Thanks for looking. Comments are welcomed .
