CONSTRUCTION;
I built the kit over a weekend as a fun time project with no intent of it being any more than a shelf sitter, My very good friend Randy Roddy has since supplied me with the Fine Molds Oscar, needless to say this was my last Nichimo Oscar.

I did not intend to post this model anywhere but my other friend Steve Bamford posted a Plea for prop models so here it is. Excellent fit, instructions are in Japanese, poor painting guides, but I did opt for the Siamese Air Force scheme with the kit supplied decals markings, and very enjoyable to build.
