Really nice, David. The worn paintwork looks genuinely worn off (not painted on). I also noticed how you managed to get your panel lines consistent across the decals - some of my work shows that's not easy!

Thanks Doug. I had to scribe the decal after they went down because they we doubled up. Which was tricky! Because it slipped.


I have a Tamiya scriber which I found a little unwieldy to say the least. What scribers do you use?

Very nice David! The weathering & chipping are just right, not over-done.


Looks a bigger scale than it actually is.

That is a really nice paint job David, what green did you use? I really like it.

Great job David , to my eye the chipping is perfect , all too often we see japanese aircraft that are weathered/chipped to hell , a bit unrealistic in my mind ,but yours is nicely done . Lovely clean build of a nice looking kit , cheers tony
