LSP_Ray Posted January 23, 2023 Share Posted January 23, 2023 On 12/31/2022 at 2:31 PM, ChuckD said: Hi, all. This time last year, I set a goal for myself to finish 8 kits throughout the course of the year. In mid-December, I was wrapping up build 7, so I decided to join the Turning Japanese Group Build and try to sneak this in before the end of the year to make this #8. Happily, through some holiday time off, I was able to do a few marathon sessions to make it a reality and with a few hours to spare, I met my 2022 goal. The build thread is here. Though it's somewhat brief, it does go through my impressions of the kit and has better detail shots of the interior before it was closed up. Generally speaking, the detail is excellent, the interior fit is wonderful, the exterior fit is okay, and the cowling fit is very very challenging. The instructions are a work of art on their own, however, and if you're at all interested in this subject, I would highly recommend one of the kits in this line. Kit is painted with a mix of Tamiya and MRP. Chipping was done via chipping medium for the large areas and by hand for the smaller bits. The only part not "out of the box" is the radio antenna wire which is EZ-Line. Markings were painted via masks except the tail insignia and small stencils. Weathering was done with a mix of oils, enamels, and airbrushing. Great job, Chuck! May I post it on the website? Out2gtcha 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
