This is looking very good ..... My guess on the different blade painting is because of balancing .... :hmmm .... or if you were getting hacked by it you could count the blades 1,2,3 ...

Nope . Sounds pretty funny but Saul made perfectly good sense about the folding of the blade .

Like so many other Japanese aircraft, they folded them up and placed them aboard ships :captain

I have no idea when how I offended the decal Gods but this kit is no exception.

As soon as I tried to move the white backgrounds they split into pieces , forcing me to go to the spare box.
I found some of the proper size but the red was way too dark . I installed them and coated the kit Hinomaru with Micro's decal clear and thankfully that was enough to save them . :woohoo:

I had to dig much deeper to come up with the symbols and numbers on the tail. :facepalm

At last it's together even though the Pitot fixture on the right strut is already in need of reattaching .

After looking at the pix, I think I could do a small amount of weathering before putting it in a safe place .

Hope you like it. Cheers, Christian B)

OK, final update on this one.

Just a few paint chips, wear and tear on the leather and if you look close, you'll notice the two biddy windscreens that I tried to forget.
Awful lite pieces that had to be Futured to the fuselage . Impossible to polish to a satisfactorily shine .

Ok, the KA-Go is KA gone. Thanks for looking . Cheers, Christian B)
