Empire of the Rising Sun Group Build
Re: Empire of the Rising Sun Group Build
To make each build less crappy than the last one. Or, put another way, "Better than the last one, not as good as the next one!"..

Re: Empire of the Rising Sun Group Build
This is an old kit. The Tamiya USA guy has the missing parts and will send them no charge. These guys are good.

Re: Empire of the Rising Sun Group Build
Yeah… I got impatient and sort of started on my second subject for this GB - Rufe floatplane.
What I’ve done thus far:
Trolley...
Pontoon floats, both center and wing floats...
photo host
While V brace was just glued on, I placed it on bottom wing holes for accurate fit. I left it to dry overnight.
Ladder...
I may jump on a third and fourth subject. I’ve always wanted to do a Val or Raiden. A fourth subject is a possible Japanese armour subject - I’m thinking Chi Ha Type 97 Tank by Tamiya

Re: Empire of the Rising Sun Group Build
Just so you know. You're gonna want to put weight in the nose or it will be a tail sitter on the cart
Re: Empire of the Rising Sun Group Build
Looks great so far.

Re: Empire of the Rising Sun Group Build
Decals are on....
It won't be long before it's finished. A bit more assembly to go, minor paint, weathering and clearcoat.

Re: Empire of the Rising Sun Group Build
Great kit! Looking good Tom. I forgot the weight in the pontoon and mine is glued to the trolly.
Thanks,
John

Re: Empire of the Rising Sun Group Build

I might hang this one on the ceiling instead.
