i real like it , top build from the paint and just the right amount off weathering as well and real do like the trolly,the iron work has been paint so well ,

with the rust,and the colors in the wood are so good to show the grain ever top build all round

That Japanese float plane is real quality. Excellent finish to a really good looking kit. Shading, weathering and detailing all top drawer.

Superb stuff

Great build Tony.I will have to have a go at this preshading lark as it looks really good.

Very nice model Tony. Some very sharp work on the canopy painting.

For me, one criteria of an excellent model is if it makes me want to build one, despite never having the slightest interest in the subject before. Definitely the case with your Seiran Tony; it's beautiful.

I can only add to what's already been said Tony - that's an excellent build!

Cheers

What they said!

What makes it really special is you've not gone OTT with the weathering. Most WWII Japanese 'planes I've seen have about 3 flakes of the original green and the rest is silver/grey. Really nice to see one the other way round.

Thanks everyone for the positive comments ! I really enjoyed this one as it was such a fascinating subject - an aircraft carrying submarine to be used for one way aerial strike missions , you couldnt make it up!! cheers tony

 

[Doug Hughes]

Great build of a really interesting subject. I particularly enjoyed the 'depth' you created on the panels, and the subtle weathering.

 

[spongtastic]
