Large Flying Boat Kawanishi Type 2 Mk.12. “Emily” Imperial Japanese Navy Arii 1/144

The Arii Type 2 large boat is now complete. This kit had a lot of burrs, and it was hard to put together. Even at a 1/144 scale, it's reasonably large. In this work, two 800 kg torpedoes were mounted. The float is made with extra tension wire for increased strength.

The Imperial Japanese Army Fighter Ki 27 Type-97 Hasegawa 1/48

The Type-97 fighter has been completed. It was a fighter of the Imperial Japanese Army, and it was very active during the China Incident, the Nomonhan Incident, and the beginning of the Pacific War. About 3,400 units were produced. As for the gloss of the painted surface of the Type 97 fighter this time, I was able to do the airbrush painting as I liked.

Zero Fighter Akagi Fighter Group (Pearl Harbor) Sweet 1/144

This Sweet kit is a 3-piece set. I build them all together. Comes with ultra-fine pitot tube parts, so a hole is drilled on the main wing with a 0.3 mm drill and bonded. As always, it was hard to mask all canopies.

JASDF Trainer Aircraft T-6 Texan Platz 1/144

It's a Platz Texan trainer. It seems like the Air Self-Defense Force and the Maritime Self-Defense Force's Texans are included in the F-Toys Convention's Japanese Wing Collection 4 series. I wonder if this is for people who assemble and paint by themselves.
