Hi Jason,I earlier this year got the 1/32 scale Se5a(Hisso) kit from WNW,one of my alltime favourite aircraft also,already built the WNW Sopwith snipe(Late),painted up all the cockpit,& guess what?,low & behold,you can't hardly see anything?,so I wouldn't worry about being too fussy eh?,& being 1/48 too??,anyhow your SE5a should real sweet once you got her all done just the same,nice work,cheers

Now that must have been a fun build. Sadly I must admit that is true, all the detail and no one will see it. Thanks for commenting Malcolm! Michael ;)

sorry micheal I meant,lol,fun but painstaking yes,maybe WNW will start releasing their kits with the clear outer skin option in future, like zoukei-maru do with the horten 229 bat wing german late war jet kit or meng or takom are doing with their panther tank kits at present?,just a thought,here's hoping eh?,cheers

The point is not whether you can see the detail, but that you know it's there!

Hey there Michael. :o) Loving this kit build. Please, may I ask a couple of questions? Firstly, What type of Tamiya paints do you use (AS or XF) and, secondly, can you recommend a good supplier? I have always used Humbrol but would like to try the Tamiya range. Thanks in advance. :o)

[@modart6339]

Hi Ross! I mostly use XF paints instead of AS. A good supplier?? I would mainly recommend ( These are all UK based by the way ) Emodels, Hobbycraft, and pretty much any local hobby shop. Thanks for commenting! :)
