dennismcc Posted October 21, 2020 Share Posted October 21, 2020 (edited) What a nice modelling experience these Hasegawa kits are, the N1K2 is the last of my trio of Japanese subjects and as well as being enjoyable to build I have learned a lot about Japanese WW2 aircraft and learned (or re learned) some modelling techniques. Paints used were mainly Sovereign Colourcoats, the undersides was Xtracolor High Speed Silver and Humbrol was used for the small details. All markings were painted using Montex masks apart from the stencils data plate and kill markings (I'm not that clever !) Seat belts are the amazing but fiddley RB Productions IJN ones. And so here we are, for some reason the aerial wire looks more prominent in the photos than it really is, and yes I messed up the "no step" area on the wing, there are probably more mistakes as well. A big thank you to all the authors of the other N1K2 builds who have taken the time to publish them on the site, I have shamelessly copied from them. Build thread is here And on with the photos which are not the best as I took them with my phone. And the flip side And put to bed with the other two.
