Nice Build! The shark mouth sure looks nice on that one! I think it would look good if you painted the tips of the prop yellow, unless they were different on RAF Mustangs. Regards,

Simply beautiful! I'm impressed with you painting and weathering. How long did it take you to build?

Really great work! I have always had a soft spot for the Monogram phantom. I hope all those stencil decals didn't cause you too much trouble because they look fantastic!

That is just so cool! Very attractive display and great work!

I always liked the looks of a nicely built P-38. You did it justice! How much weight did it require to sit on it's gear?

Wow! Looks really nice in flight mode! Nice paint and weathering too! Great job!

Nice work Dave, I really like the paint job! Quite the attractive scheme on the Turkey. Looking forward to your future builds!

Lots of fine workmanship on display with that one! Well done!

I don't think you can go wrong with satin black. I am not familiar with them being any other color.

Doh! I read the post and did not see that!

If I am not mistaken, Gunze makes a Nakajima cockpit color in its paint range. http://www.car-model-kit.cz/watermarkimage.ashx?p=/car-model-kit/4-_iyE-1589__edeygr-edey__c127.jpg

That is a real beauty! The metal finish is wonderful! Did you have any issues achieving the metallic finish? I am still too afraid to try one for myself.

Excellent photography. Really like Photo #10 with the smiling Maverick missile.

The Ta-152c wing is longer and of different construction than the D wings. Here is my opinion on the Ta-152 wing: If you look at picture of the leading edge of the wing you will notice a slight change of angle on the top of the leading edge just above the the landing gear mounting point. It would appear that a Ta 152 H wing from the landing gear inward was used and then mated to the 190 D outer wing panel . This is the only way I could explain why there is a change in the taper of the wing at that point. This also seems to account for the increase in span. I found this out by accident when

Took me awhile but I went through this whole thread and found it interesting and enlightening. Thank you to all who contributed!

Your paint job is wonderful! What did you use for the final clear coat? It reflects nicely like the real thing without looking to shiny. -Dale

Very nice! What a pretty looking aircraft. -Dale

Holy cow! That is some beautiful work with the airbrush! -Dale

According to the Aero Detail book on the Shiden-kai the flap upper surface was all green and the flap bay was the same as the underside color ( silver ) I have not seen aotake blue anywhere on the shiden-kai. Inside of cowl flaps was also silver or natural metal. -Dale-

I had to laugh with you on the wrong way cowl paint. I have been messing around with he idea of finishing this kit for a number of years now. No fault with the kit , just modellers block. Each time I open it to play around with the kit I always seem to try to put the cowling on upside down. : ) I like your topside color with the clear on it. I think it looks better darker. -Dale

Very nice ! You've done a nice job. Makes me want to start mine before the injected kit get released. Did you have to add any nose weight? -Dale-

Wow! That looks rather striking! I may have to rethink the markings I put on mine! -Dale-

Very nice, I've always liked the look of that bird! Just a note, you might want to switch the main landing gear doors as they seem like they are on the wrong sides. Keep up the good work! -Dale-
