Painted the cowling an 80/20 (more or less) mix of black and flat blue. I think it maybe it's too much blue...what do you experts think?

The engine is installed. Unless I get a knock at the door from Mitsubishi Corporation, I'm not going to lose sleep over the cowling color.

Pretty simple. Not a great deal of detail compared to the later Tamiya or even Hasegawa Zero kits, but it should make an attractive model when it's done. IF yours truly doesn't bollix it up!😉

I got the Eduard photo etch cockpit for mine. I wanted a resin engine, but 28.00 no thanks,looks like scratch building time. LOL.
