The pre-shade and the subtle chipping are superb Tony!!

I really like the general colour, he is crying for some outdoor photos near the water

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

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.
