Lot to be said about spats.

Looking forward to the finished model.

Grey paint applied by brush. It is the first "Trucolour" paint job. It goes on very nicely and covers on the second coat. It has acetone so ventilation is needed even if you only brush it on. The cowl will be black.

Only two major errors that I may fix at a later time. As is, a fairly simple build using WWII ID method.

Very nice indeed Lou, looks great, regards Paul J.

Thank you Paul. That make my 26th WWII ID Plus models. Another couple are in progress.

Hard to land a carrier plane without an arrestor hook. Fear not, my Val now has a hook.

Clarification. The Aichi D3A Val is incorrectly identified as the KI-99 in a number of places on line and even in our gallery. I have corrected the image tittle to reflect the Aichi D3A in the gallery but cannot change the file name.
