Your problem with the old decals sounds exactly like the situation I had with the D3A2 sheet. I even tore one hinomaru when trying to move it on the paper with my finger. Everyone can see that patience has salvaged your decals, though.

Comes very nicely. Always watch the background of a photo: it seems that a triplane is in progress... ;)

Very little progress on my Japan projects. :-/ This morning I mixed up some of the black-blue antiglare paint and shot the appropriate areas on the Zero and Raiden, along with the yellow striping on the A6M. I've been working on the two Suisei projects a tiny bit also.....

I watch your build... huuuh... Rei Shiki was built by Mitsubishi and Nakajima and in one factory cowling was black and in another this paint tend to be blue black in time. Will check out for this!

Yes, I've learned a large amount since we started the Japanese project. According to the material I've been reading, Mitsubishi had the bluish shade and Nakajima plain black. The wheelwell color is another topic of discussion!

Correct-there is black landing gear strut in one case. Maybe time for expert?

The wells and gear doors themselves are of a different color--Mitsubishi used the underside color and Nakajima used the Aotake green/blue clear lacquer from what I've learned.
