Nichimo - Aichi E13A1b "Jake" 1/48 scale


Recommended Posts

A very toy-like kit. Fits well in places but not in others. Sooooo many things needed fixing. All rivets were sanded off as the real aircraft was flush riveted and panel lines rescribed.

A tarp made from white Milliput was used to hide what isn't in the cockpit. Painted in standard Japanese camo colours then sprayed over with Tamiya acrylic white and then brushed with enamel white.

This Jake is in surrender colours as prescribed at the time before being flown to the RNZAF base at Jacquinot Bay, New Britain in Sept 1945.
