Hi.
Have just received my Observation Seaplane Type Zero (Pete)Model 11 in 1/48 scale.
There are also etchings for this model, but having looked in the box I feel this is not necessary as the detail is good enuff for me.
You get a trolley to keep the model upright and very good decal selection from 1942 to 1945.
You also get a diogram for the etchings if you wish, but these can be made of other materials.
Hope to have some pictures later.

That's coming along nicely, quite an interesting subject to tackle.
It looks like it's getting to the point where the next stages are more fulfilling (at least that's what I find with mine) as further work starts to yield something ever closer to the finished article, like reaching the finale in a good movie.

Model is absolutely stunning - not sure about the display base, though! Weathering makes it look almost like a metalic finish.

Looks fine for me - suppose you wanted to represent it at beginning of service. Rigging seems spot on. Compliments - you might consider showing it to the Recce SIG gang if you bring it to SMW. Possibly some more pics with base and neutral Background ? popeye

Nice! One day I'll have a 1/72 version of Pete .... and a Seafox ..... and a 112th birthday.....
Did You Know that those radiating lines on Japanese tailplanes were for reading off the bearing of a smoke float so the Nav. could find the drift and calculate a wind? Bomber Command got the rear turret man to sight on a flame float and read the angle off a scale: same principle, but much heavier. - B.
