73north · 25-10-2006

Dear Friends ,

I have started work on my Typhoon by Hasegawa , over the course of this week - i was delayed due to a late Part ( Pilot Seat - Resin by UltraCast )arriving from the United States only last week.

My Next Project
is ordered ( for the Winter /Spring )

namely the Mitsubishi A7M2 Reppu ( Hurricane )

Famous as the successor to the A6M Zero ,

but delayed till August 1945 , due to Engine Changes and Fuselage Modifications , plus overwork on the Raiden ( Jack )construction and Updating the Zero for the worsening war situation .
7 Prototypes were produced , and one production Aircraft , but was just to late to fight in the War . It was superior to the Hellcat , and just a little slower than the Mustang
( Reppu was capable of flying just over 400 mph )]

I will be building the Japanese Fine Molds version in 1/48 Scale , which is a very rare Model in high quality resin - 1/48 Scale

and I am getting the Maru Mechanic Book on this rare Aircraft decoded , this was posted this week , plus I will get more information from this ,as well .

plus I have to wait till my Payment arrives in the States as it was sent Recorded Delivery Airmail on 11 October .
The Royal Bank of Scotland charges £ 20 for a Bank Transfer , so it is much ,much cheaper to send payment this way .
I have to accept the delay in posting as I don't use Pay-pal anymore

PS ~
I will post photos of the construction of my Typhoon .
