You skipped over some final steps to get the decals to lay down and be sealed properly, but otherwise it looks very good. 👍

What was manufactured during the late war, or if the war went on longer, probably had similar or even larger fit issues. Maybe the kit was just ultra realistic... 🤔

Fine work!! Mine is still in progress. I noticed that you did not added any tubing or hoses on the landing gear bays. Do you think it is too much work not to be perceived? Great job. I got some hints from the video.

Unbelievable. You'd swear that thing was made out of metal. I was looking for videos before starting this kit and this one is top level. Did it inspire me or make me feel that I should not even attempt it? I'll go ahead and give it a shot, but I'll be glad if it looks like the box art compared to your masterpiece. Perhaps in the future I can utilize some of your techniques and build a more professional finished product. YOU ARE A MASTER!

@lorimcquinn3966 I have the Roden 1/48 Sea Gladiator as well and it looks a little more detailed compared to this one but I'm pretty sure it won't fit together as well as this one did.

@@ofmodelsandmonsters Thanks for the input. I'll check out the Roden kit. I'm just finishing a (57) year old 1/48 scale kit by Impact of London, England. Why it certainly doesn't have the detail of modern kits, it sparked an interest in the Gloster Gladiator and I wonder who builds the best kit. Thanks.

So I was just made aware that the Spitfire actually had wooden propeller blades. All these years thinking I knew everything about it, I didn't. So before anyone else corrects me, I am now aware that I made a mistake with the chipping and if I build anymore Spitfires, I will rectify that flub.

Are you thinning your Model Air? If so, ratio, and with water or Vallejo Thinning Medium? Apols if you showed it and I missed it. Airbrush brand and nozzle diam? (.3mm?) Pressure with Vallejo?? Love your geisha. Such a shame Hasegawa don't include a pilot figurine with their 1/48 kits. Fortunately, ModelKasten to the rescue. No Special Attack Unit decal options in this Ki-43 kit unfortunately otherwise I'd do a mini diorama with the school girl figurines traditional wave off farewell. Enjoyed the vid.
