Lots of good modeling here.

Thanks O_T, Jeff, by 01.30 I was getting too tired to carry on so stopped work for a short sleep with my alarm set for 5 AM. This is the state of the build at 6 AM and the end is in sight with just ailerons, elevators & rudder to fit before paint and decals, canopy, undercarriage & propeller to fit afterwards.

The basic airframe is complete and painting has begun, although I am using acrylics much of my time ATM is waiting for paint to dry so there isn't much to see just now. Pictures TF.

Thanks Jeff, O_T, .the airframe was complete by 7 AM but the painting slowed things down a lot and I ran out of time, the second picture below shows the model as it stood just after the 10 AM deadline.

The finished but very late Aichi Nanzan Trainer, I quite like the look of this aeroplane and I must get the far more accurate Tamiya kit for the stash.

Shame you missed the deadline, but a nice finish.

Its not just how good your painting is, its how good the touch-ups are too.
