Using Chrome browser in Win10 such things either auto-translate or a translation link is offered. It uses Google's translate tool, which as others have mentioned, doesn't give a grammatically correct Japanese/English translation as Japanese is a very complimentary and flowery language, but it is usually adequate to give a general understanding.
Japanese, Chinese and Korean text is very difficult for a machine to translate as the characters are more like pictures than letters, and if they are saved as part of a picture, AI just gives up. This is where the idea for the anti-bot Captcha system came from.

I didn’t like all the open gaps behind the cabin cabinets, so I made up backs for them. The landing gear pads require careful cutting. The top section appears to be a little too small. I just used lots of glue and patience to get everything to fit. When fitting the piece that bisects the engine tubes, I cut out a small section so that I could align and center it properly. Hopefully the photo shows it better than my explanation.

Looks very good. Remind me again -- What scale is Uhu02's model?

I believe it is 1/100 scale.

I decided to start mounting the control rockets next. A circle template helps to keep them round and pressed together until the glue dries. Only 96 of these little suckers on this kit.
The interior stairs are next. I found it easier to build them on the floor panel rather than independently and fit them later. |

I didn’t like all the empty open space behind the cabin counsels, so I made up scraps to cover the openings. I am going to put magnets in the counsels and screws in the upper fuselage to keep the two sections together and aligned. I also closed up the back of zero G toilets to provide some privacy.

Magnets are used to hold the bolts in place in the upper fuselage until the glue dries. I thought I had taken photos of the landing gear doors, but they seem to have vanished. Use let me say that they are fragile and fidgety. But the final results are worth the efforts.
Apologies for the sideways photos. It’s a IPad glitch. |
