Ernest Thanks so much Ernest! The hairpsray can give good chipping results but it also cause me some paint lifting problems as well. I think I could've gone a little further with the chipping but I was hesitant about going TOO far. On 12/5/2020 at 12:03 AM, Gazzas said: Really a fantastic result, John! My favorite Japanese AC of WWII. Thanks Gaz! I really like the Shiden Kai (and Shiden too). I wouldn't call it a graceful design but it has a nice strong ambience to it. 17 hours ago, mpk said: Lovely George. Thank you very much! I enjoyed the build very much! 9 hours ago, Rick K said: beautiful work, engine is special. Thank you Rick! One of my rare builds where you can actually remove a cowling! mpk and Rockie Yarwood 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Azor Posted December 10, 2020 Share Posted December 10, 2020 Absolutely WONDERFUL Thunnus! Delicate and convincing effects, the faded paint over the wings and control surfaces. PERFECTION! Bravissimo! Standing ovation mate! Rockie Yarwood and Thunnus 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thunnus Posted December 11, 2020 Author Share Posted December 11, 2020 Thank you so much Azor! I like the bird in your avatar! Are you a fan of Accipiters? Azor 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But above all a fan of nocturnal birds of prey. Here in Chile we've got the Accipiter chilensis, nickname "Peuquito" (Pewkitoh). Lovely creatures, indeed!

Accipiter striatus, Accipiter cooperi and the big Northern Goshawk (Accipiter gentillis). Azor and Uncarina 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GORGEOUS model. HAPPY NEW YEAR . Thank you! I'm not sure I'll be doing that with other builds but I've found that it doesn't take me that much time to cobble together this type of slideshow.

We have Accipiter cooperi that scare the birds at our feeders into hitting the windows, then collecting them, and last year I started noticing that they paralleled me on the bike path, waiting for me to flush game, then attack out of the sun...but I’m digressing from your amazing build. Again, great job! Cheers, Tom Edited January 7, 2021 by Uncarina Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
