Aichi E13A1 Jake 1:144 stripped

[Marudek]

Hi,
It took almost a year to finish this model. Of course I took a couple of breaks but I think they were necessary as I couldn't rush with such a project. This is my first stripped model in 1:144. It gave me a lot of fun so I'm planning to build more models like this. And every next one is going to be better















Best regards,
Marudek

Now Peter that is one very outstanding build I loved every update of the build. And like I said the finished article is just sublime.

Thank you guys!

This model has some flaws but building it I learnt how to handle these little stringers because sometimes it was a bit tricky

Now I'm thinking of another seaplane to be stripped

Superb Peter ! Amazing microscopic skills . It looks fantastic , cant wait to see the next one. If youre wanting to do another 1/144 seaplane then Sweet do a double boxing of the Nakajima Rufe . I made this kit a while back and it would be a perfect starting point for your scratchbuild, it even has a tiny beaching trolley . cheers tony

Hi Tony!

Thanks for the tip. I already got the Rufe from F-Toys (along with their other seaplanes ) I'm thinking of stripping a Kawanishi Alf and putting it on a catapult (in paint scheme from Nachi), but I havent decided yet. Before I start another stripped project, I need to clear my workbench of some other 1:144 models that I've started in the meantime .

Cheers,
Peter

Awesome work Peter. 1/144 scale too, you must have the eye capabilities of an insect

That's amazing, Peter. All modellers need patience but that's above a beyond, and the end result looks fabulous. Though I think you should also show a picture of yourself next to the model - if you're less than one foot tall it's a cheat!

Peter.....only WOW!!!!!!

Hi guys!

Thank you very much for your kind words. The last picture from my workshop thread can give you rough idea of the size:



You can also see there the magnifying glass I use to see what I'm doing. Without it I wouldn't be able to make it even in 1:72

Excellent work mate, couldn't imagine myself doing that!
