Hello Artur, your build looks great! I was looking for this kit last year but could not find it anywhere (I did find a decal sheet for it on scalemates, but they wanted more money for than the kit cost (!)- so I settled on the Eduard P-400, with marking from the 8th Fighter Group, 80th, 36th & 35th squadrons- I got interested in the 8th Fighter Group, 36th Squadron (in particular) after buying 30+ WW2 items from a WW2 veteran of the 36th squadron (Mr. Steve Sobak)- and located a book: "Attack & Conquer" (you can find a few new copies on Amazon still- I think- I bought mine there last year) with the WW2 history & hundreds of photographs of the 8th Fighter Group- that Mr. Sobak- as it turned out- was also a contributor too before he passed away. I am currently selling all of these items as a group on eBay USA- I will use your photos for reference when building my P-400- It's my first Eduard kit- I usually build Tamiya Kits- I find the instructions for Eduard Kit a bit vague after reading Tamiya instructions for years- and not working with too much photo etch so far- So Thank you for Posting! Cheers!

Hello Chefy, sorry for long time after your comment. I added some more pictures of this model. I have better light now and is possible to make better pictures. Thank you for your interesting comment. I haven't that exellent knowledge now.. but I like read about WW2 especially about War on Pacific. Have a nice day
