 +====== Build Records Index ======
 +
 +This page is an index of solid model construction and reform records preserved in the **Japanese Solid Model Archive**.
 +
 +The records listed here are not limited to completed models.  
 +They also include records of processes, corrections, decisions, and the ways aircraft forms were understood through making.
 +
 +For information about individual makers, please see the author pages.

 +
 +===== Types of Records =====
 +
 +This archive includes several different types of records.
 +
 +==== Construction Process Records ====
 +
 +Construction process records follow the making of a solid model from material preparation and rough shaping to painting, markings, assembly, and completion.
 +
 +These records are useful for understanding how the form of an aircraft gradually emerges through the making process.
 +
 +They are not merely lists of procedures.
 +
 +They show how observation, correction, test fitting, and judgment are repeated until the form gradually becomes clear.
 +
 +==== Reform Records ====
 +
 +Reform records follow the process of reworking a model that had already been completed once.
 +
 +These records are especially valuable.
 +
 +They show how a completed model was reconsidered, opened again, corrected, and brought to a new state of completion.
 +
 +From a finished model alone, it is difficult to see where the maker found problems or how his judgment changed.
 +
 +Reform records preserve that otherwise invisible movement of thought and decision-making.
 +
 +==== Parts-Based and Process-Based Construction Records ====
 +
 +Parts-based and process-based construction records follow the making of a model not only as a single linear sequence, but also through individual parts and stages, such as the fuselage, wings, nacelles, engines, propellers, armament, painting, and final assembly.
 +
 +For large or complex aircraft, the making process is not always a simple straight line.
 +
 +Parts are made separately, checked through test fitting, and eventually integrated into a single completed form.
 +
 +The Fw 200 C-3 record is an important example of this type of record.

 +===== How to Use This Index =====
 +
 +If you want to follow the making of a model from the beginning to completion, start with:
 +
 +  * [[en:authors:fukuda-kazu:fw190-d9:start|Focke-Wulf Fw 190 D-9 Construction Record]]
 +
 +If you want to read a record of how an already completed model was opened again, corrected, and brought to a renewed completion, start with:
 +
 +  * [[en:records:he115b_reform:start|Heinkel He 115 B Reform Record]]
 +
 +If you want to read how a large multi-engine aircraft was made through separate parts and processes, start with:
 +
 +  * [[en:records:fw200c3:start|Focke-Wulf Fw 200 C-3 Construction Record]]
 +
 +If you want to learn about the maker, see:

 +
 +===== Highlights of Each Record =====
 +
 +==== Focke-Wulf Fw 190 D-9 ====
 +
 +The Fw 190 D-9 record is a detailed construction process record.
 +
 +It follows the model from material preparation, shaping, surface preparation, painting, markings, and final assembly to completed model photographs.
 +
 +The value of this record lies in the visibility of the process.
 +
 +It allows readers to see not only the completed model, but also how the form was gradually made.
 +
 +==== Heinkel He 115 B ====
 +
 +The He 115 B record is a reform record of a model that had already been completed once.
 +
 +It preserves the process of removing deteriorated paint, rebuilding the nose section and canopy areas, reworking the surface, repainting the model, and bringing it to a new completed state.
 +
 +This record shows that completion is not always the end of making.
 +
 +A completed model may be reconsidered, corrected, and guided toward a new final form.
 +
 +==== Focke-Wulf Fw 200 C-3 ====
 +
 +The Fw 200 C-3 record is a parts-based and process-based construction record of a large multi-engine aircraft.
 +
 +Because the original material had been organized by parts and processes, this archive reconstructs the record as closely as possible according to confirmed dates and the sequence of work.
 +
 +This record allows readers to follow processes such as:
 +
 +  * material preparation and the emergence of the overall form
 +  * interior work, cockpit, canopies, machine guns, and gondola construction
 +  * nacelles, cowlings, and attachment to the wing
 +  * spinner and propeller construction
 +  * engines, bombs, and accessory parts
 +  * painting and markings
 +  * final assembly and completion
 +
 +What is especially important in this record is the way separately made parts are eventually integrated into a single completed form.
 +
 +It also shows that making does not consist only of active work.  
 +Decisions such as waiting for putty to dry are also part of the making process.

 +===== Notes =====
 +
 +Some aircraft subjects and markings in these records belong to wartime historical contexts.
 +
 +They are presented here solely as part of the historical and documentary record of scale model making.
 +
 +The purpose of this archive is not to endorse any ideology or military action.
 +
 +Its purpose is to preserve and study the techniques, processes, decisions, and records of solid model craftsmanship.
