marauderdriver Posted December 13, 2016 Author Share Posted December 13, 2016 Thanks Everyone, and I hope it will be worth your time to look in. Pulled her out and started cleaning things up. I wasn't aware that Japanese pilots stood up while flying Love the complicated cockpit, If I stay with Revell I could keep up with John B....hahahaha!. Obligatory start shot and onwards BradG and mpk 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marauderdriver Posted December 13, 2016 Author Share Posted December 13, 2016 Having no references for the Jack, I took to the NET. Surprised of the cockpit color I found a pic with the IP in a different shade of green. The shelf with the radio behind the pilot appears to be Blue clear over silver. Still not sure how I'm going to do the exterior, Japanese. US.Brit. or custom colors.....racing plane?.......Since I'm building OOB I will probably go military and maybe do a SALT mask. I know this aircraft was not overly used at the end of the war. I figure I had maybe 3 or 4 pictures in various library books for reference in 1971-72 Black/White. Would usually use the kit color callouts if nothing else. BradG, mpk, Azgaron and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marauderdriver Posted December 15, 2016 Author Share Posted December 15, 2016 Taped things together to check fit. Had to trim some ribs in the cockpit to let the floor fit when closing up, so far-so good. Pilot will be fun,but he's OOB!

Shaka HI Posted December 17, 2016 Share Posted December 17, 2016 Looks great, dude! BUT I say that you find a replacement for that figure -- cause it looks like a blob of plastic! BradG, mpk and marauderdriver 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marauderdriver Posted December 17, 2016 Author Share Posted December 17, 2016 Thank You Sir. I'm building this also for my club contest in march in the Out of box catagory I can't change the pilot if I enter and since the seat is short molded, I need him. I have quit a few Revell OLDIES with almost the same pilot and will probably build them OOB also. These are the kits I cut my 32 scale teeth on so I'm ok with it jack mpk, Shaka HI and Bill_S 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
