LSP_K2 Posted January 1, 2017 Author Share Posted January 1, 2017 Lower wing gun panel inserts are a really good fit. A tiny bit of surfacer, and they'll be good to go. Molding details. For some odd reason, main wheel well inserts don't quite reach the inner gear door hinge area, but doors should cover this small gap. Still strange though. mpk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_K2 Posted January 1, 2017 Author Share Posted January 1, 2017 All interior guts now spritzed with green (Gunze RLM 82). May or may not be a match for Mitsubishi green, but it's fine for me. sandokan, Uncarina, mpk and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_Kevin Posted January 1, 2017 Share Posted January 1, 2017 There's a stunning build of this kit as 343-15 in vol. 2 of Wingspan, of which I'm currently working up a review. Kev LSP_K2 and mpk 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kikka Posted January 1, 2017 Share Posted January 1, 2017 the wheel well inserts are not flush for you to put the bay doors on it . for the cockpit color a drybrush in tamiya XF71 or close will be enough . the RLM 82 will bring the shadow where the drybrush doesnt reach . Here is my rendition using Gunze pack for the Shinden. here is what you can do using the drybrush technique . A6M2 tamiya will be following your take on this bird!

Kind of looks like , and correct me if I am wrong olive drab. But that is just me. Looks good as do the other pics on this thread. Good work sir. mpk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kev That is something that I'd be interested in seeing, Kev. the wheel well inserts are not flush for you to put the bay doors on it . for the cockpit color a drybrush in tamiya XF71 or close will be enough . the RLM 82 will bring the shadow where the drybrush doesnt reach . Here is my rendition using Gunze pack for the Shinden. here is what you can do using the drybrush technique . A6M2 tamiya will be following your take on this bird! Good tip, and I'll certainly consider it, or something similar. mpk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_K2 Posted January 2, 2017 Author Share Posted January 2, 2017 And yet another scheme worth considering (scan from a Model Art book). Uncarina and mpk 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dennismcc Posted January 2, 2017 Share Posted January 2, 2017 This is working up nicely, and in time to give me ideas for 2017, which for kit building purposes I have tentatively decided to have as a Japanese year.

Cheers Dennis The Japanese stuff is a nice break for me, and I'm having a lot of fun with them. I'm already considering a Ki-84 or Raiden later this year. mpk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_K2 Posted January 2, 2017 Author Share Posted January 2, 2017 I had a strange experience last night. Looking at photos of what I thought was a 1:32 N1K2 (it turned out to actually be a 1:48 N1K1), I saw the cool 20mm gun pods under the wing. I immediately checked my kit to see if I had those gun pods, when I realized that the N1K2 already has four 20mm cannons, two per wing,... Oops! Silly me. mpk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scrodes Posted January 2, 2017 Share Posted January 2, 2017 My favorite plane. I keep putting off starting my build. I'm attacking the stash and not getting there as fast as I would like lol. LSP_K2 and mpk 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_Ron Posted January 2, 2017 Share Posted January 2, 2017 You're motoring right along on this one. Shame about the fuse slip up but it should be fixable. mpk and LSP_K2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks a bunch. You're motoring right along on this one. Shame about the fuse slip up but it should be fixable. Yep, very fixable, but still annoying. mpk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
