The seat is made from early composite material that's a natural deep brown colour, SRPB - Synthetic Resin Bonded Paper. The prop blades are made of wood on the MKIX. Research the subject, details matter. I love the name of your channel 😀

Stylistically this is a super build! You are very talented and skilled. I take my hat off! From a realism standpoint I wonder though whether these aircraft were really that heavily weathered, worn and stained. I think Drachinifel mentioned in one of his videos about carrier ops during WW II, that the aircraft were constantly maintained and the paint was touched up constantly, plus replacement aircraft that came in regulary, fresh from the factory.

@marcusaureliusantoninusaug2161 Thank you. I get what you mean, it's just a habit of mine to heavily weather my projects.

Once you have painted parts before glueing them which glue do you use?

@mpierrela I'll generally use Inoteca instant bond, but first I try to scrape off a little of the paint so it adheres better.

That’s a FIRST CLASS video! Great build. I learned a lot by watching it! Thank you. I thought the mottling might have been overdone a bit …? Looking at props, the chipping is usually at the leading edge and more extreme at the end of the prop that’s spinning the fastest. Not so much spread out. That’s what I’ve noticed anyway. My comments are “small potatoes”. I really did learn a lot from this high quality video that was obviously well thought out.

Japanese aircraft, especially the Kawanishi float plane ( Emily) big and beautiful and impressive and damned challenging. I stayed with it to completion. Great things come to those who have patience. I'll just love the fighter aircraft kits no matter who or what companies they are from, I build in 1/32 scale and bigger Ilove the box art . That sells the kits. . I will never stop buying and building.

Unbelievable. You'd swear that thing was made out of metal. I was looking for videos before starting this kit and this one is top level. Did it inspire me or make me feel that I should not even attempt it? I'll go ahead and give it a shot, but I'll be glad if it looks like the box art compared to your masterpiece. Perhaps in the future I can utilize some of your techniques and build a more professional finished product. YOU ARE A MASTER!
