Showa Development - Tosai to Nisai

I would like to share with you two pix of one of my Showas. First picture as Tosai, second one as Nisai.

The development she made is unbelievable. This illustrates how Showas can change dramatically even over a 1-year span.

The only problam she has is size, although now grown from 28 cm to now 48, I don't believe she will make it into Jumbo class. 70 cm will be the maximum, I believe. But still it's a very nice looking Showa.

Do others also have pix of their Showa development? I'd be interested in seeing them. thx

Jnorth-
Is that how you expected it to develop or were you thinking something else?
