**Maker**: Kazu Fukuda\\
**Scale**: 1:50\\
**Type of record**: Reform record of an already completed model

This record shows the large-scale reform of a Heinkel He 115 B solid model that had already been completed once.

The model was reopened, corrected, rebuilt in important areas, repainted, and brought to a renewed completion.  
It is especially valuable because it shows that completion is not always the end of making.

===== Reading Pages =====

<WRAP box round 90%>
Reading pages are interpretive pages.  
They are intended to help readers understand construction records not only as sequences of work, but also as records of form, judgment, correction, and integration.
