Not over my house today, but hopefully at some point before it heads off to
Virginia. They had a beautiful day for the flight.

What a superb restoration job.  :thumbsup:
Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

...and I'm not a closeted 'Take That' fan, I'm a REAL fan! :)

Regards

It is isn't it.

Pilot looks a little tall for it though.

I hope they had a professional Japanese language person inspect all the writing on it to make sure the wording is correct. I've seen enough bad translation on model kit instructions.

Earlier this afternoon I saw what looked like a Beech C45 departing Coventry Airport.

Wish I had saved some of the instructions from the early Japanese releases back in the 60s and 70s, hilarity ensued!  ;D

The pilot's seat of the Zero raises up for improved visibility on takeoff and landing, and is lowered back
down in flight.
