Future Trotskiys
Thanks, Ron.
Incidentally, I took a little time out from the Hampden to play around with one of the recent Trotskiys: the Nakajima B6N2 Tenzan (Jill). What I hope to do eventually is provide a little dimensionality by using a wing spar (under construction in the photo -- I printed out a copy of a Tenzan 3-view sized to 1/95 -- the scale my Tenzan -- and laminated it to 1mm card), cutting out the landing gear and inserting black paper to give the illusion of wheel wells, bulking up the wheels a little, and maybe making the prop rotate.
However, I do not want to get decisively engaged until the Flying Suitcase is finished. And, of course, I have the GreMir Shoki in my sights as the next big airplane project.
I am also thinking of posting a wrap-up when the last Japanese WWII Navy airplane appears: an index to the planes posted in this series.
If Rick, Jason, and Ash have no objection, I thought I would start a new thread when the first Japanese Army WWII airplane appears (I've already discussed this via back channel with Marv, who began this thread, and he has no objection).
