I definitely have my work bcut out for me to be sure.  I am not going to overly weather this one, though, as the photos of it show a pretty clean airplane.

I have a feeling progress from this point forward will be a slog.

Your feelings are correct, lol

I don't know what your schedule is, but the rule of thumb for me is this: about 30 days for a new airframe, about a week per skin after that. So yeah, the setup is 300% harder.

Noschedule as I had...have...no idea what to expect.  A month seems a bit optimistic in my case. LOL

As is the rising sun. Alas, I just recognize the obstacle in the way and live with it.  ;)
The Rising Sun emblem is just Japan's naval ensign so most of the Japanese atrocities weren't committed under it as they were committed by the Army, not the Navy.  It still is also still in use by Japan.  The Imperial Japanese government didn't have a specific symbol like the Nazi Party did.  And the swastika is the symbol of the Nazi Party.

The Soviets, well, yeah, that is hypocritical, but they were on our side so there it is.  Maybe the hammer and sickle is more akin to the swastika than the red star.  Dunno.
