FineMolds 1/48 Mitsubishi A7M1 Reppu (Sam)

Post by MakingModelsAgain »

The last thing to leave the bench in a completed state. Built mostly out of box with one or two minor tweaks here and there, namely the pitot tube and the wing-tip lights. I also used an etched harness, so there. Makes a nice, wee change in the display cabinet from all the usual drab greys and greens and stuff!
