Hey guys,

Just finished my 1st Japanese plane in 1/32 for my collection.
Hope you like the pics.

Looks spectacularly painted. Great work.

You did an excellent job on the blotch camo, that can be tricky to execute. Nice Tony!

Prost!

Thanks guys.

I also figured out how to airbrush the red circles using artist template from art shop. It came out alright.

Yes, I see a lot of builds online, of Japanese aircraft, where the builder chooses to make his own masks for the meatballs and paint them, rather than to use decals.

Prost!

Superb job. Camo is outstanding. It is easy to see why so many US pilots reported these aircraft as Messerschmitts. -- Al

Thanks again.

I spent around 15 min practice airbrushing the camo on white paper before working on the wing first. Still it took few tries until I satisfied with the result.

Very nice model and painting of the camo, tail and the "meatballs". Nice model to make and you nailed it. J

Very sophisticated, alright. That's a difficult livery scheme to execute, and the model looks great!:salute::

Shootist,
If you don't want to build this one. Oxford/IXO makes a very good diecast model of this plane in 1/72 for ~ $25.
