Gareth UNDERSTEER - is when you hit the wall with the front wing. OVERSTEER - is when you hit the wall with the back wing. HORSEPOWER - is how fast you hit the wall. TORQUE - is how far you can take the wall with you. Read my scale modelling blog at www.latibuliser.com or mfhmazda787.com

That looks awesome, except I think it's missing the "dolphin" paint scheme (I like it better without that anyway ) Did the mirrors on the canopy come with the kit, or were they scratch built? EDIT: Apparently it's nicknamed the "dolphin"....I had to look that up on a Japanese site--did not know that. My local shop has one of these (can't remember if it's 1/48 or 1/72) but it has a dolphin-inspired paint scheme on it.

Thanks everyone.
Jinro > The mirrors are part of the small Eduard set I added to the kit parts. I know the scheme you are talking about, it's one of my favourites. Looking at the nose and horizontal stabilisers you can clearly see how it got it's nickname.

The demarcation lines are where the trunking joins the intake surrounds. I deviated from the prescribed construction sequence and made sure I got a perfect fit of the trunking to the surrounds before fitting to the airframe. Both parts were pre-painted and I joined with Gator's Grip white glue.

Great looking model, it's awesome that so many little-known planes are being put out there now. Back when I used to build them 25+ years ago it seemed everyone made the same 2 dozen or so common planes, but if you wanted anything out of the ordinary you had to either scratchbuild or go with vacu-formed or cast resin kits that were usually devoid of details.
