Hey Warren 
I actually spotted one of these at the nationals yesterday . Probably a Hasegawa though.
Long and sleek and an unblemished paint job . Looks very fast just sitting there.
Waiting on more :coolio . Cheers, Christian B)

I'll try not to disappoint!
So, I've been busy, like all of us. But I have been picking at this one a bit here and there. Should be able to finish it up soon!
3 Japanese planes I'm working on at the moment (minus the Mavis)
Nacelles painted
masking for the yellow markings on the wing and tail. I used Tamiya flat yellow and added 2 drops of Tamiya orange
Drop tanks and prop on
Gloss coat and some stickers. The gloss coat had a little reaction where some of the silver undercoat came through. It actually makes it look very lightly weathered and a bit bleached by the sun.

Thanks Christian!
Should have it finished up soon. I'm off for Christmas now and am hoping to finish this, the Type 1 and get back on the Mavis for a bit before I go back to work.
I think for 2017, I am going to make a resolution to finish up my current projects before starting new ones!

Final pics!
Since I had a little reaction with my gloss coat, I decided to shoot some more IJN green on to tone it down a little
The only kit decals used were the tail codes, the others came from my spares.
Outstanding Warren!

That turned out really nice Warren! Another thing is it is something really different for a change. B)

Thanks for the great comments everyone! i really appreciate it! I'm very happy with the way this one turned out. Should have had it done a lot earlier though!
This was a great little kit to build. I have a couple of the other old Revell Twins in the stash and am looking forward to building those someday too!
They really need one of these in 48 scale!! Sanger makes a vac one but wow, it would take a lot of work!
I'd like to see how the Hasegawa kit stacks up to this one.

So do you have the original photos Warren?
Another one for me to update? LOL
That's a huge rabbit hole you're looking in.
