stevej60 37,655 Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 Hi folks,well third time lucky after two bin jobs I have finished my first 1/48 kit for two years! Bought for seven quid at my local air museum it came with a base and motor for the prop.A really stress free fun build as you would expect even for an older Tamiya kit used maskol for the paint wear effect http://www.britmodeller.com/forums/index.php?/topic/234966729-rising-sun-raiden/ hope this link works to the WIP.Thanks for looking. 13 Link to post Share on other sites

Cookenbacher 11,352 Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 Great paint chipping, even on the decals - wow! That looks awesome, and you've shown the best technique to make the most realistic possible spinning prop effect. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Robin-42 688 Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 Very nice. Only thing I noticed was the canopy frame has no chipping. Link to post Share on other sites
stevej60 37,655 Posted September 11, 2014 Author Share Posted September 11, 2014 Very nice. Only thing I noticed was the canopy frame has no chipping. Yea, it has a small amount but the photo,s have shown more needed I have a couple of touch ups to do before it heads upstairs to the shelf so I.ll add a bit with a silver pencil.
