Well, I'm calling this one finished. The weathering is far from perfect but as it's my first attempt on an aircraft, I'm happy enough with it.

However, I very much doubt I shall use that amount of P/e in an aircraft again, only for much of it to be virtually impossible to see.

The added time and expen$e of the plane are worth it in this case.  You have a model whose quality is among the best anywhere, and now it's in your collection.  Done and done well!

Excellent job of an interesting subject. I like Hasegawa 1/48 kits , their larger
Japanese WWII subjects have excellent details inside without the PE headaches.
You done real good, try the Hasegawa 1/48 Kate or Val sometime.---John
