I have the book where this pictures is taken from. That would have been one of my recolors but then I found a green model from the Yamato.

Anyway, the build is finished.

I corrected the 3123 and added a white version to the list.

I'm glad to see the Mitsubishi F1M Type 0 Observation Seaplane appear, Bruno.

3123, F1M2 Tail Number 212-02 is from the Battleship Yamato floatplane detachment from August 1944 to April 1945, but I am unable to identify the CIH tail code (and for some reason, can't access the Wings Palette entry for the F1M. Can you tell me what the unit is?

That's a famous "Pete," Jose Luis! Worth a future re-color. According to the late Henry Sakaida, Warrant Officer Katsuki Kiyomi was one of only two aces who downed adversary aircraft while flying floatplanes. In addition to shooting down a Dutch PBY on 11 January 1942 and crashing into and destroying a B-17 while flying Y1-23 from seaplane tender Chitose on 4 October 1942, he was credited with downing a B-25 and two B-24s while flying an A6M2-N, and another B-24 while flying a Kawanishi N1K. He then converted to the Zero. He was credited with 16 downed aircraft, seven while he was flying floatplanes. [Henry Sakaida, Imperial Japanese Navy Aces 1937-45, Osprey Aircraft of the Aces No. 22, Oxford: Osprey Publishing, 1998, pp. 42-44, 68, 109.]

I can say the same.
It's great to see "Pete" in your catalogue, Bruno!

Loved the family picture. Great collection and contribution to the hobby (in any media).
