| ****Finished: KI-48-I Type 99 (Lily) Group Build Here she is in all her glory  what a pain.I am glad she is done now and ready for the cabinet.It all started with any painting and then the masking agent stuck like glue to the glass  (first time).My paws all over,touch up here then there aaarrrgghh.Defiantly not one of my better attempts for sure but I can be proud if you can call it that?she did not find a wall then the trash can,preserverence paid off some in the long run??Pics..........

| The time was August 17 of 43 early morning along the China coast were the Japanese have had some great success years prior.The crew was tired this was to be the third sortie in five days,the tone of the war was changing more hectic more work.The fog was making it tough to get motivated it at least provided some cover from those damn Brit air raids here of late it will be gone in an hour or so.The mission today is back to Nan..................
