5July 8, 2014In my opinion the mix of raised (original in the kit, wing) and self made rivets on the flaps (with a riveting tool) looks interesting.
6July 12, 2014It's really stunning that such large airplane is powered by such small propellers...
7July 12, 2014The kit offers no exhaust pipes so I created them from thin sheet wrapped around a 6mm drill.
8July 12, 2014
9July 12, 2014Last year I overlooked the black "no step stripes".
10July 12, 2014Walkway-stripes after demasking.

13July 13, 2014Unfortunately the prominent inline-gaps for enhancing the water performance are missing in the kit...
14July 13, 2014Created gaps via engravings, because the plastic is too thick for a complete "cut". The shape of the gap end-area was corrected.
15July 13, 2014The original has a complicated superstructure for better strength. I made only a part of it using 0,42mm drill and 0,40mm plastic-rod.
16July 13, 2014Lost raised rivets restored with a needle and....
17July 13, 2014... the holes in the "craters" filled with polishing paste (rose).

20July 20, 20141st step: prepaint the fuselage with white (outer side) & dark grey (inner side). 2nd step: mask the openings on the outer side with a small piece of transparent tape. 3rd step: fill the windows with Bondix, coat as thin as possible & let it harden.
21July 20, 20144th step: fill the windows 2nd time with Bondix, put a piece of thin transparent plastic into the wet Bondix and let it harden. 5th: step; remove the Tesa film from the outside and carefully remove the Tesa-glue from hard Bondix with cotton swab & Humbrol
22July 20, 2014
23July 20, 2014This rectangular window has an two pieces of thin plastic glued with Bondix together.
24July 21, 2014
25July 21, 2014Upholstery is made from ureol (the most soft variant).

39January 19, 2015Nothing much to see of the engravings.... Need paint. Little details (inlets, outlets and mesh for the round exhaust) comming soon.
40January 19, 2015White card was the tool for engraving the oval hole. The inlay helped to cut the mesh in correct shape.

Album info
- About 5 years ago I separated the first parts from the spruces...
- In early 2013 after a true never ending story I completed and airbrushed the wings and floats...
- Now I have reactivated the retired Shinmeiwa.
- 6 months later (january 2015): game over again, 4th match.
