Thank you! As I say, besides the decals, it was a very nice build. I deff recommend it, since those decals would be very easy to just mask up and paint.
Haha, I will admit, I am *awfully* nearsighted; like, borderline legally blindly so. But it helps with stuff like this, almost acting like magnifiers or something! (Though.... I do also have some of those spectacle-type magnifying lenses as I'm sure it's not gonna last.....)
That's a fine looking Marco! I have this kit in my stash to build one of these days. I built the Fine Molds 1/72nd version of this and the Curtis flier. One of my favorite movies by far. You did great on the plane. The preshading might be a tad thick, but that's always such a fine line, if you're happy with it then I'd say you nailed it. I think you convinced me to just paint the national markings and not use the decals heh. The decals of the 1/72 scale one were pretty rough too and I'm in the same boat of you, I should really just go back and paint it but new projects keep calling. Do you have any more Ghibli models in the stash?
I'll also admit to having needed to stretch the red, wound up running out as I was filming so I didn't get as much coverage as I might have otherwise. It works out from where it hangs in my office, gives that touch more of an anime feel, but it wasn't ideal by any means 😅 Eventually I plan to get the Curtiss R3C-0 as well, but I haven't yet. There's also some Nausicaa models I want. Porco Rosso is one of my favorite Ghibli films up there with Nausicaa and Princess Mononoke (though I guess it makes sense that there isn't any Princess Mononoke model kits haha!)
@@fenrismodels ah yeah I've been there. I have LP-21 Italian Red ready for when I get there. Been using it for the hinomaru on WW2 Japanese planes. I love all the Ghibli films but Porco and Howls Moving Castle are my two favorite. I would really like some nausicaa models though if I can find them.
Is there any way to make any of that interior detail visible? If not, I might throw those parts in the spares box (I have this one and the blue Curtiss R3C-0 in the stash).
Not really, but a good number of them *are* needed to fit Marco in there. If you leave him out, some of it is more visible, but even then some serve are locating tabs and structural support for the upper fuselage half. I'd recommend taking a look at what all is there and all of the connection points. I'd wager you'll want to use most if not all of them. You just might not need to paint them is all.
Yep! Not sure which yet, but I've been seriously wanting to do up something Star Wars for the channel for a little while now. May start with something "basic" like an A- or X-Wing
It is a wonderful buIld Fenris! I especially loved you sharing it was in a ghibli film. Very cool! ❤🐌✈️
I'm hoping to grab more in the future, they have the S.21F, Curtiss's plane, and few others as well as a bunch of Nausicaa kits and such.
@@fenrismodels Awesome! I can’t wait to see you build them!
Looks really good my friend, congrats on the final result.

Very interesting looking kit and fun build
Thank you, I am glad you enjoyed it!
Dear Fenris,
I like your attention and capability with these smaller scales- my rheumy old eyes can’t manage them!
Nicely done sir!
Regards,

Cool Plane Fenris
Thanks! It's a nice little build, and besides those decals, it goes together quite well!
