1/72 Fine Molds Yokosuka R3Y2 Keiun

--------------------

 

There is my Yokosuka R3Y2 Keiun from FINE MOLDS.

I built it "from the box" and I just added the seatbelts and rebuilt the small accordion part of the landing gear doors with some metal sheet.

The stabilators and the ailerons were cut and repositioned in a more dynamic configuration.

Then the model was painted with Tamiya color as per as the FINE MOLDS instructions ( nobody really don't know if the underside  was orange or gray, so  did it orange ! ), and the 7 decals were added.

As it was a prototype, which flew only one time, there is not enough weathering and the airframe must rest relatively clean.

All in all it’s a good kit of an original plane.
