I need to do a little touchup to get rid of some red overspray. The windscreen is already painted. For that matter, all the small parts, excepting the wheels are ready to add.

The only problem I've had with this kit is that the carpet monster seems to developed new skills. I've spent more time trying to recover missing parts.
I definitely can't wait for Spring Break to go home and start on that kit! You are an inspiration.

I think you're going to really like this kit. I can't remember the last time I so enjoyed building something.

And that is the point about model building. If it isn't fun, it's time to do something else.

Me likey too, looking forward to seeing this one done, you're doing a stunning job. Its a pity this mag is not available in NZ, I've love to have a crack at this, I've a couple of the Fujimi A5Ms but this is enough different to be a worthy addition.

For me it's more therapeutic than just for fun. It's more than just an urge to be recreating something.

Looks like a nice kit. Great job on the silver paint.

Ooooh, I like that, sorry but all sorts of words like neat, sweet & cute come to mind, that is such a pretty little plane & very attractively modelled. Just have to hope that FM will give this a general release at some point.

FM released this in 48th a couple of weeks ago. I peeked inside the box. It looks nice, but wrong scale for me. Price here was about the same as the 72nd magazine release.

Very minimalist in markings. Sometimes less is more. A very neat and tidy build.
Enjoyment over accuracy. That's my motto
