Excellent model, Michael. I look forward to seeing the rest of your Pearl Harbor collection as it develops.
I had hoped at one time to do a layout of Pearl Harbor-related aircraft for our annual showing of Tora! Tora! Tora! as part of the USAWC Strategic Arts Film Program. I managed to finish John Dell's model of B-17C Serial 40-2074 (the one that crash-landed during the attack). John Glessner reworked the FG P-40B and A6M-2, and I had some conversations with the late Jim Lansdale of J-AIRCRAFT concerning the markings of the Welch and Taylor aircraft. However, I have yet to build the P-40 successfully, and haven't done any paper modeling for several month. I hope you will forgive me posting an image of the P-40B and A6M-2 as of last May. The Zero still looks toy-like, but John did a great job on the P-40B.
I doubt that I will complete the project, but meanwhile, I can enjoy your excellent models.
Don
