    Figured out the squadron on the box. According to the profile I found its of the Tsukuba Naval Air Corps of the Imperial Japanese Navy Airforce from Oita Air Base July 1945. Profile is suppose be of a Mitsubishi A6M5C Model 52C. It was an advance training unit deployed for home defense duties.
    Thats good! because I can't find these dam profiles starting to be convinced they didn't come with any

    Your builds inspiring , it shows you can get a decent result (Note: "you" not me! ) I hope to develop my weathering ability on this build (so don't be surprised if it turns to crap) Il try my best though

    Heres a pic of the cowl ,as you can see my photograhpy sucks but it sorta shows the bad mold quality -some of it can't be seen (Dammit)

    Glad to see someone building a Japanese bird I have a 1/48 Aichi D3A1 (Val) I could enter. But I don't know if I'd have the time to build this as well as the A20 & P40. You going to have her well weathered with lots of bare metal showing through Dan?

    Absolutely! I plan to give her 2 decent coats of silver then a light airbrush coat of the 'green' Then I start playing around with it! This is the most likely scheme but I haven't 100% decided yet
