1/72 Aichi M6A1 Seiran Seaplane build

After it seems like forever to get a replacement canopy (had to buy another kit) I finally got it finished.. (sorry about the poor quality pics)
It was a pretty easy build with the most difficult part handpainting the canopy..

Hey Hworth18, that is a nice build. I take it that is the Tamiya 1/72 version. If so let me know, how was the kit, I have been wanting that one for a while.

Meskary, the kit was fine.. It was a typical Tamiya build with the only problems being that I broke the first canopy in two pieces while masking it off to paint..

Cool job Harry. Isn't there one in the NASM at the Udvar Hazy Facility. I took some pics of it, and i think it is.
 

I can take umbrage, I can take the cake, I can take the A-Train, I can take two and call me in the morning, but I cannot take this sitting down. Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm going to take five.

Thanks guys..
There is one at the NASM, I have some pics of it while it was in partial restoration.. This actually looks better in person, just that my camera skills (no post processing either) suck and so does my camera..

Re: 1/72 Aichi M6A1 Seiran Seaplane build

I am not good at taking pics of my models either. Mine is not a matter of the camera as it is more of a case of the operator.
