So, this is a place holder for the Corporació Catalana d'Avions Huracà Dive bomber using a Tamiya kit as a basis. I'm hoping the decals I've got in my drawer will be sufficient for this so fingers crossed!

Photo's to follow.

Taking advantage of Plaza Japan's cheap prices on certain models, I relieved them of multiple Japanese aircraft, some of which I'd not come across. For this build the victim is Aichi's M6A 1 Seiran which has a distinctly Junkersish feel to the nose. The base model is a floatplane, but this wouldn't be a Whatif group build without a little change here and there...

As such I rustled up a pair of spatted wheels and have set about with clippers and knife.

One pic of the box contents. some bits like the bomb are now glued up ready to go.
