I just started this one. I was looking for something to build after a long hiatus. So I thought a Tamiya kit would be just the ticket for an easy build.

It all looks great in the box, I hope it builds just as well as it looks.

It’s Tamiya. It won’t be difficult to build, poor fitting, or awkwardly engineered.

Great choice Borg !

The Seiran is a really beautiful seaplane, it is definitely in my Top-3 of all the seaplanes!

I did my first airbrush session in months. Just a black base, using my Badger 350. I used mr Surfacer 1500 black.

Way to go! I've been having some difficulty with my airbrushes lately. Glad to see your model coming along.

A big update, I haven’t posted all my steps in the build process.
The Tamiya quality is definitely there, nice fit, good details.


First a layer of XF-22, then a wash, some detail painting. And lastly a few decals.
