A bit of a strange one for me as its Japanese and also its motorised brought second hand at a decent price.
Right so pic's
The box
Decals
Sprue A
Sprue B
Sprue Y
Clear parts
And finally the motor and wiring plus connectors
And all the paint selected.

That is different......

Are these the planes they sometimes loaded in into their really big submarines???

Good luck with it.

If I have it right it's a waterborne version of the land based fighter.

Thanks Peter.

I didn’t know they sold kits with an electric motor for the propeller. Seems very gimmicky, really, but what do I know, maybe it’s good fun after all

They did the 1/48 grand slam Lancaster with motors hard to find but I am going to look for one.

Should be fun to build, good for slicing the fingers as well !

Hi Peter
An odd looking plane with a mouthful of a name. Looks as if it's all going well. Are you going to display it on water?

The base is supplied so I will making it up as water.

Coming along Peter. Quite a strange bird, so a good subject for a model.

[peterairfix]

One cockpit and pilot constructed and painted pity its all going to be lost when I install it.
