This is definitely another one I want to see more of, once fully completed. And Kevin, what can you tell us about "AKI" - sounds Japanese - I've never heard of them before.

Meantime, I should make a note to send you a Matty's Models 40mm or two - even though in 1/550 scale - to see how well it looks next to the ones you're using on this 1/700 build. (Because I'm beginnning to suspect most 700-scale guns are overscale - in which case I could easily provide something(s) better, in that market - and even the ones I have now might already be preferrable, in every respect.)

Excellent submission to ModelFleet, Kevin - again, one I'll be happy to post to our Gallery, when completed, buddy!

Cheers,

-Matty
