Pilot figures are painted including Admiral Yamamoto 🙂 Great kit, as to be expected from Tamiya, just some details to do before a varnish & wash.

Are pre-painted canopy pices also included?

Andrea Morris
Yes they are. 🙂 That's going to save a shed load of masking!

Andrea Morris
The figures, cockpit assembly are installed & glazing fitted. Now she's ready to be buttoned-up.

Fuselage halves are together and wings n things are on. Seem sanding time before dealing with all that glazing!

Nice work so far on this and have it in the stash as well. I'm 50/50 on the paint scheme though... Yamamoto's transport or camouflaged. Will be following. 👍

Andrea Morris
@Jim C I figure that if the kit is Yamamoto's plane then that's how I'm going to paint it. If I wanted to do something different I would of bought a different version. 🙂

Andrea Morris
As the kit comes with pre-painted glazing I can just tack in to place the un-painted glazing without having to mask at all! 🙂 And now primed she is ready for paint. Judging by the amount of primer I used, she is going to take a LOT of paint as she is a big bird.

Mitsubishi green applied to the upper surfaces

Looks to be coming along nicely. Great job on painting the crew and Adm Yamamoto figure. 👍
My kit doesn't have the pre-painted glazing unfortunately.

Andrea Morris
Cheers James! Anti-glare panel and silver underside are painted. A few touch-ups and I can move on to painting the insignia & other markings.

Daniel Klink
Looking way cool so far 👍

Andrea Morris
@Daniel Thank you. The markings have been sprayed on, unfortunately the pictures are stuck on my camera as my PC has died 🙁
