Basta Posted November 22, 2020 Share Posted November 22, 2020 Beautifully done, convincingly gritty and worn. Really has that feel, especially the tired green paint. Congratulations it's a stunner. Thunnus and mpk 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've had a penchant for Japanese aircraft as of late, and this one is really stunning! The weathering, shading and paint overall are all top notch! Thanks Brian! I've been doing mostly Luftwaffe subjects so builds like this one are a welcome change in scenery. On 11/21/2020 at 5:17 PM, Troy Molitor said: Just brilliant as usual John. Well done. Love it as always. Thanks Troy! Now it is on to the next! On 11/21/2020 at 5:50 PM, levier said: Fabulous finish! Thank you!

I think the weathering could've been pushed a little bit more but I guess it is indicative of where my confidence in weathering is right now.

Your model is EXQUISITE and love the EXEMPLARY detailing especially the engine. Truly masterfully modelled and weathering is TOP NOTCH. :AWESOME. Yes, I've always like the Shiden and Shiden Kai design. Now that I've built the model, I get a sense of its great size! It was a large powerful aircraft! 4 hours ago, Rocat said: Museum quality replica! I love WWII Japanese aircraft, and seeing your top tier work really amazes me! Bravo. Thank you so much Rocat!
