Paul A H Posted December 17, 2016 Share Posted December 17, 2016 Almost certainly my last completed build of the year... dragged from the shelf of doom and finished over the last week is my Kawanishi N1K1 Rex. Built completely OOB, painted with Tamiya acrylics and weathered with AK washes. Not perfect by a long chalk, but it's finished at last 32 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark4700 Posted December 17, 2016 Share Posted December 17, 2016 I've not seen one of these built before. Very impressive. You've made a really nice job of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

celt Posted December 18, 2016 Share Posted December 18, 2016 Well tidy job of an aircraft I am not familiar with. Was it widely used ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thud4444 Posted December 18, 2016 Share Posted December 18, 2016 Wow, a Rex. You see a lot of Georges but few Rex. Great model, excellent weathering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Learstang Posted December 18, 2016 Share Posted December 18, 2016 Brilliant Rex! That's a model I definitely want, as I have both the mid-wing and low-wing Georges, so this would complete the set. Regards, Jason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F1xena Posted December 18, 2016 Share Posted December 18, 2016 That looks great. I really like those Japanese float-plane fighters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BerndM Posted December 18, 2016 Share Posted December 18, 2016 A very nice Rex and not too much chipping, thats refreshing ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JWM Posted December 18, 2016 Share Posted December 18, 2016 Nice indeed! Excellent painting and weathering . If I may one small suggestion - back of props were black (or rather matt and dark, since photos are BW) , as it is on photo here (scroll 3/4 of page down): http://www.mission4today.com/index.php?name=ForumsPro&file=viewtopic&t=14431&start=75&finish=15&printertopic=1 Cheers J-W Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Viking Posted December 18, 2016 Share Posted December 18, 2016 Well worth pulling that one off the shelf of doom, it's come out as a real stunner. Great to see such an unusual model too! Cheers John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

72modeler Posted December 19, 2016 Share Posted December 19, 2016 If this is a 'shelf of doom' model, I would hate to see what one of your 'decent' jobs looks like. You nailed this one, IMHO! Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
