I've been wanting to build this model for around 20 years, but I was never good enough with painting natural metal to attempt it. However skills improve and new products hit the market. I recently picked up some SMS Super Silver and wanted to give it a try. The kit itself from Tamiya is very nice, but it does lack a little detail and I had a small etch set to improve on the cockpit, undercarriage doors and other small items. SMS Jet Black was used as a base for the Super Silver and I'm pretty impressed with it's look and durability. I've handled this a fair bit and it has not caused any damage to the surface. The tail decals, excluding the fin flash which was masked and painted, came from Dying Sun II decals from Rising Decals, the US insignia was from the spares box. This particular aircraft was captured at Clark Field in the Philippines. Repaired to airworthy, she suffered a landing gear collapse and was grounded, with the intent to take her back to the US shelved, it's probable that 'S9' was scrapped onsite sometime after the end of the war.

Hi, Another and the last Kawanishi bird from my archive shelves - flying boat H8K2 Model 12, in Allies code "Emily". She was made from Hasegawa kit (edit 2017 - the old one, off course 1/72) , almost OOB exepct markings, which depicts Emily of 801 Kokutai, based in Yokohama. This is the biggest model so far in my collection....In a profile I followed it was so badly weathered... Comments welcome and regards Jerzy-Wojtek
