Hi all, This is a model I finished last year. I was taking photos of a recently completed model, and thought I may as well photograph this one too. It also serves as a test of using Flickr rather than Photobucket. The kit is the Fujimi 1/72 Nakajima Ki43-I Hayabusa (allied codename, Oscar). Maybe the only early mark Oscar out there in 1/72? The pilot is a PJ Productions resin figure (Japanese WWII). The markings are from the kit, and represent the aircraft of Maj. Tateo Kato in Burma, Spring 1942. (these were the only option supplied, although different boxings of the same kit have various markings). I tried the “salt” technique to get the very heavy weathering effect. I am happy enough with the technique, but it might be better for 1/48 and 1/32 rather than 1/72. Or maybe I should get some finer salt... I am not so happy with the green colour, but it’s what I had at the time. The NMF is Model Masters acrylic silver, which was pretty good. Weathering was achieved with oil washes, and a small amount of oil pastels. Anyway, here are some images. Comments and constructive criticism welcome. Thanks for looking! David- 12 replies
