Roland, LS were the King of 1/144 but now they're just part of model kit history

Welcome wilky & Roland 🙂 It's a strange kit with no detail in the cockpit (as you can see) but then other parts can be moved, maybe it was to attract younger modelers? Once complete, I will put it next to the Airfix model for comparisons. 🙂

Thanks Daniel and welcome. I have quite a few other LS Nippon models for the future 🙂

Completed.
I used Techmod decals which are IMO very thin and tear very easily.

This aircraft is based on a A6M2-Model 21 that was based at Konoike in Japan as a part of the 721st Naval Air Group. The 721st (towards the end of WW2) was mainly known for it specializing in Kamikaze missions.
