[Fertig] Nakajima B5N2 "Kate" - Maly Modelarz 3/2002 - 1:33

Here are some pictures of a Nakajima B5N2 "Kate" that I have been working on for a few months now. So far I am please with the kit. It has good fit and good detail. I added a few extra details to the cockpit with glue and paint. I used paperclips for the push-rods in the engine.

Hier sind einige Bilder einer NakajimaB5N2 "Kate", an dem ich seit ein paar Monaten arbeite. Bis jetzt bin ich mit dem Modell zufrieden. Es passt gut und hat gute Details. Mit Farbe und Kleber habe ich ein paar extra Details im Cockpit hinzugefügt. Für die Ventilstangen im Motor habe ich Büroklammern verwendet

Is there anyway I can add more than one picture in each post? I am not quite sure how to do that. I don't think I am allowed to have more than two posts in a row.

Thank you Micheal. I really appreciate you translating. It's is a shame that my second language is a dead one..........Latin

This is all of my progress so far.

So weit bin ich bis jetzt gekommen

last one...

Thank you for the compliments Robert. Yes, I do plan to finish building the plane. However, I have never used any kind of spray or varnish to preserve my models yet. Do you have any recomendations? If I did use a varnish for protection I would prefer something that isn't too glossy.

Danke für das Kompliment Robert. Ja, ich plane das Flugzeug fertigzustellen. Ich habe aber noch nie irgendein Spray oder Lack zum Konservieren meiner Modelle benutzt. Hast Du eine Empfehlung? Wenn ich eine Konservierung verwende, dann würde ich etwas vorziehen, das nicht zu glänzend ist.

I finished up this plane a few weeks ago and i finally had time to take pics and post them. I couldn't decide whether or not to close the canopy so I didn't glue a few pieces so that I can display it opened OR closed.
Here it goes.....

These are all the pieces of the canopy without reinforement. I simply heated them with a blow dryer and worked them into shape.

next..

I used wire from a bread tie to reinforce the pieces that weren't glued to the fuselage, to help them hold there shape.

This is the glue I used to glue the wire to the front of the canopy pieces that slide back and forth for opening and closing.

The bomb and the machine gun.

Almost done!!!!

Every picture after this shows the plane 99.9% done. After I glue the last few pieces I'll post final pics in the gallery section.

Canopy closed...

I finally ran out of space on the shelves and the dresser in my room, so now I am working on filling up my ceiling space
