Compared to the previous pictures, this is what my test build looks like...

I think I forgot something!?!!??

Just add glue!

Rata... you ruined it for me now! you did not even give me a chance... I have not even purchased any of these Jap planes yet and I'm already comparing my future builds to yours.

I think you need tab 'A'.............. Or is it 'B?

Thanks everybody for the kind words. It was an absolute pleasure Bruno.

Those rounded things are just burnishing on the inside or pressing (gently!) down the part over a shape like the end of a small paintbrush handle.

Great build Rata, great design Bruno, I am looking forward to purchasing it.

with some more effort, I got to this result.
(after I stopped making jokes)

B

PS: When I compare this model to the older N1K2-J Shiden Kai, I think I really should revisit my old models.

For a short moment I thought it would be easy to make the Kyofu based on the Shiden, but then I made a little comparison...

Yes, your new Shiden looks more accurate to my eyes.

About revisiting old models, I have a question. How do you design wing root fairings for any aircraft? These parts are the only ones I find quite difficult to design when I upgrade your older designs.

EDIT: I've seen Kyofu in your catalogue, Nr 209
