Some more progress on the Val yesterday morning. All just parts from the salvage boxes and wire, styrene, or aluminum stock for the rest. I find scratchbuilding strangely relaxing  :-paper when I get rolling on a project like this.

I can hardly wait for final assembly of both of your egg-planes!!!  :-clap :-clap :-clap

This morning I found my very old bottle of Gunze H-6 for the interior of the late-war Val. I did considerable research and this seems to be the correct shade for the Aichi factory at that time. The paint worked out fine after a little mixing.

AMEN, Sall!!!! Both the Humbrol and this Gunze paint performed perfectly even after decades of storage. Some of the storage time was spent in an unheated/unair-conditioned storage building and the paints still work just fine. There are cases where "you get what you pay for"! :-tri
