That is the best looking IP decal I have ever seen. Just need to be a bit smaller.

The seat bucket was drilled and a torque tube added to the floor.

Hope you like it :) Sorry Gary I'll have to leave you like this. Going to the show at Fayetteville show tomorrow.

Sorry, I could not pass this one up. I like it so much I have already ordered the A-5M4

:) Thanks for looking in guys. It seems that what use to be my thing about the Luftwaffe has morphed into a thing about Japanese aircraft as of late. :idonno

Can't say enough about this little kit though Fujimi has done a wonderful job on this one .It goes together like a fine watch. :D

That would be a good assumption . If you have changed it, thank you ! (y)

I had no idea it was anywhere else since I posted it .

I'm preparing the wing for the large clear lenses of the position lights.

It starts like this , and then using the above gadgets the plastic rod get's tooled to a dimension that can be polished into submission . Seriously don't like clear plastic as it is so hard and brittle :vmad

Now to use the other parts of the stick to polish them :soldier
