| I dunno, Jerry, this is one cool looking bird. |

| I bought the plans by Mike Midkiff at Ozark Model Aircraft. Mike was kind enough to reduce them to 1/24th scale for me. I find that 1/24 scale allows me to use a lot of decals and aftermarket products from the plastic kit industry. |

| The Japanes deisgners thought that the added weight of the retract mechanism was a trade-off and used the spats/fixed gear for performance. This is a beautiful build. Where did you get the plans, or did you draw up your own? |

| I have to agree with pfinn. An rarely built model of a classic fighter. The craftsmanship and paint looks great!! |

| I'm sorry Jerry, but I'd have to disagree with that statement! It looks great! Showroom fresh. The Future really does wonders. |

I printed this sheet of instrument panels from a site that pfin led me to. I can use these instrument panels when I don't feel like building a cockpit. |
