    1/72 Kawasaki Ki-48-I Type-99 Light Bomber

    Hi guys, this is a very old kit which I get from a senior. Hasegawa 1/72nd scale.

    The marking of 16th Light Bomber Air Combat Regimetnt, 3rd Company, Chōsen (now North Korea), Autumn 1941 - 1945. 川崎 九九式双発軽爆撃機 I 型 (キ-48-I)第16 軽爆撃戦空戦連隊,1941-1945 秋,朝鮮

    Let's make it short here - I insist to try new methods and experiments on my every build, for this Ki-48-i, I tried to modify the flight control surfaces - flaps & ailerons to make them into like "flaps down". For the interior/cockpit, I sprayed with 40% Gunze 04 Yellow + 30% Gunze 309 Green FS34079 + 30% Gunze 310 Brown FS30219 (暗灰黃綠色, which recommend by Hasegawa). Masked all the clear parts after that & start the paintwork. Done painting & chipping on both propellers and engine crowling by Hairspray technique. For the fuselage - GAIA 032 Ultimate Black > Sunin S/Steel > Hairspray (decan & spray with 18 psi) > Gunze 130 Dark Green Kawasaki. Wash by different brushes, airbrush needle, pen-knife etc. For sure trials and errors during experiments.

    I also spray a layer of very diluted Gunze 130 onto chipped area attempt to make peeling-off effect but not successful. Hand-painted anti-slip by AV Vallejo 70.950 Black, post-shading with very diluted Tamiya XF-1 Flat Black enamel paint to make it more nice I guess. For the diorama, I use a Styrofoam board at the size of approx. 15cm x 15cm. VERY simple Japanese style environment setting - sand-beige ground with some grass + Sakura trees. Looks a little empty on the right side of the diorama so I add a pilot from Hasegawa X72-8 WW-II Pilot set.

    Great work Kitti, I think some of the techniques look fantastic and the base realy sets it off completely. Once again great work.

      That's lovely Kitti. There are some bold weathering effects there and they've worked very well. I also love the contrast between the weapon of war and the tree in blossom.

        A happy coincidence ? Ki, I think is how the Japanese for Sakura is pronounced. Sakura, means cherry blossom, which we see here. Brilliant, I don't think I've ever seen such a connection between the model and its surroundings before. But yes, the model, very nice. You've certainly put some effort into the wear and tear on this aircraft.
