Discovered this at the weekend on top of a wardrobe tucked away from sight and lucky not to smashed with stuff being thrown up there ! It's a 'real world' Kawanishi C6N1 Saiun (Aoshima 1/72 kit) depicting a crash landing. Somehow time and poor dusting (I blame the wife you know) has given it an eerie outlook.  Sorry its not true What If but its been there at least 8 years I reckon, so what if I left it there another eight or ten years ?

That's REAL weathering! Beats hell out of all those 'weathering powders' and stuff.  :thumbsup:
Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

...and I'm not a closeted 'Take That' fan, I'm a REAL fan! :)

Put it in a show as it stands and tell them that it's an accurate model of a plane that was downed by the blast from Hiroshima and subsequently covered in nuclear fallout..... :wacko:

But make sure you add one of those gigantic, radioactive spiders that did the webbing.

I`ll agree with that. You need to put something on that will fix the dust permanently then put in a perspex case.

Gondor, you are right.  That was my first thought.

My thoughts as well - looks quite eerie
Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.
