Lookin' tight Michael keep it com'n!

Ok, got the white on the underside, I'm doing the scheme with two shades of blue with soft blurred edges where they fade into each other, I think I've got the right blues, my instructions are in Japanese but I found Tamiya paint references online so I went with that

Had a bit more filling on some seams after the primer went on, looks ok now I'll see what I can get done paint wise tonight.

Looking good so far. It's definitely my favourite WWII plane!

Looking very good Michael

Got the blues on and fitted the u/c and u/c doors. Think it looks about right but I'm going to put it down for a day then look at it again before I klear coat. Maybe a little work on the u/c doors needed.

She's looking nice Michael. I always think a model finally starts to come together when it can sit on its landing gear.

Well I think I'll call this finished. I've done it quite well chipped as I have seen many pics of this aircraft pretty beaten up looking.

Thanks for all your help and encouragement, M
