Japanese "mosaic" model

[K_mars]

Japanese "mosaic" models that are made up with individual blocks using different grains of the same wood in the shapes of the various panels on the actual aircraft.
The category of this scale model was completed by chance.The origin of this model was beginning of the 1970's. The key to the approval of the mosaic model is a cyanoacrylate.

In early 1970, when there is no suitable material for the solid model was invented by gathering pieces of wood to make.A cyanoacrylate is greatly helped in this production.At that time, I was in high school, was making this new production method.

Wow ! the technique is very beautiful and I love that floatplane,constructing the built up rudder is most effective.

Mr. Nishino Yoshiro is working on a Vickers Wellington right now.  I think it is close to completion.  Magnificent work.
