Stew Dapple Posted January 7, 2018 Share Posted January 7, 2018 Here's my first completion of 2018 (though really it is the last completion of 2017); the 1/72 new tool Hasegawa Kawanishi H8K2 Emily, representing an aircraft of the 801st Naval Flying Group of the Imperial Japanese Navy: The kit was built almost entirely OOB - it even included canopy masks for the main glazing though I did buy the Eduard mask set for the little fuselage windows, because I am very, very lazy. The kit transfers were used to represent the third option provided with the kit. The undersides were finished in Alclad Semi-matt Aluminum with the doped fabric parts represented using Citadel Runefang Steel; the uppersurfaces using Colourcoats ACJ01 IJN D1 Deep Green Black, with the doped fabric surfaces painted using the same colour mixed with a little ACJ18 IJN Interior Olive Green. The floats were rigged using Infini Lycra thread. A meandering build thread is here. Cheers, Stew 44 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beard Posted January 7, 2018 Share Posted January 7, 2018 I commented, in the WiP, that it looked rather splendid; I take that back, it looks very splendid. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cookenbacher Posted January 7, 2018 Share Posted January 7, 2018 I think that counts a your first four builds of 2018 Stew, that is gargantuan. Another great build, I'm going to look at the interior shots again in the WIP (and suggest others do the same), there is a hive of 1/72 activity in there. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
