Mitsubishi Ka-14 "The wind rises" fine molds 1/48

[Guest]

Wee but before work this morning. Vallejo primer inside the fuselage which goes on beautifully and the finish is nice, tamiya semi gloss black on the machine guns.


I was thinking about dry brushing tyre black over the top, I have never painted a gun before so suggestions on painting it to look spanking new would be appreciated.

Help!! Would this be ok to use here? Best I could get for money quickly.


Couldn't find many pics on line to see what a prototype used.

Little update on this... Don't like these harnesses, too thick, they delaminate and need glued back together so they then become rigid and look off.


Maybe someone could advise if you are actually meant to do laminate these and use them in half so they look better and work better? I think I did them wrong haha


Also I forgot the fire extinguishers so they need painted and glued in while I do some filling of the fuselage. Oops

Doh. I looked up another website... Apparently you do remove the backing paper. Not in the instructions and not obvious at first. Only after making the belts did they start to peel apart.


Ffs haha even the most simple jobs can be arsed up. Maybe I'm not very good at this modelling malarkey

[Guest]

We've all been there Doug! Cock-up City is a favourite destination of mine


Still, it's all looking good so far

Cheers, it's funny how you don't see many of the flaws until you use the camera close up... I will be using my magnifying light more on my next builds to try to improve my finishes I think.

Also I didn't see that red one until now...

Model's looking good Dougie, nice work on the interior. Where did you get those seat harnesses, BTW?


The red plane (and the blue biplane next to it) are from the Porco Rossi movie.

[monica]

liking the look of this one,have never seen it before,and very good progress,

[Guest]

That's looking like a very detailed kit, you're going a great job so far.

[yak face]

Looks a beautiful kit Dougie , ive read great things about Fine Molds stuff , the only problem is its quite pricey and hard to find. great job so far , keep the pics coming , cheers tony

[Guest]

Cheers guys, Appreciated. I bought the kit from Japan on eBay. For maybe £15-£20. The detail is great on the kit, it is really really fine and well moulded. Worth the money easily.
