a rescue model i was give at expo it's the old 1/48 Nichimo kit with decals from the Create 301 "special attack squadrons" set.
the model was stripped down and cleaned and the missing seats replaced by redroo beaufighter seats and a scratch built control column and instrument panel.

overall i'm pretty happy with the result (though i still need a right hand inner gear door if someone has the parts )

I like it, a nice clean build with subtle weathering.

You've done a grand build on an unwanted kit Paul. Well done mate a very nice result.
I always thought Nichimo turned out quite good kits early on for which was initially a family concern.
Alas, all my early Nichimo efforts are long gone except for their lovely Ki-43 Oscar.

Wayne.

they are nice kits..i have an un built one in my stash and in some ways the exterior is better than the later hasegawa one.

well done that man

and now thanks to a guy from Germany(toryu on Britmodeler) she has a full set of gear doors and the correct spinners.
