guaguachong Posted December 26, 2014 Share Posted December 26, 2014 i heard tamiya's gekko are great kit, plus i love this beautiful plane. so i collected around 10 kits but never got chance to start one. this time, i decided that i must finish one of them. it took around 5 business days to build this model. everyday i worked around 6 hours plus few nights after work. it consumed around twice much time as a single piston engine fighter. but all worth when you finished your work i believe. well, great kits, great details and fitting, i tried to make her look like has been survivied in battlefield for a long time, plus i picked up the one had two shot down which should consider great since not that much shot down for japanese airforce against american heavy bomber like B 29. Merry Christmas everyone, enjoy pictures and comments are welcome. 24 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

guaguachong Posted December 27, 2014 Author Share Posted December 27, 2014 That is a sensational model with very convincing weathering. What method did you use for the paint chipping? tamiya xf11 mix with xf 1 white to different color, then xf11 mix with xf2 black for panel line, then xf 11 mix with yellow, then blend the whole plane few times, you have to practice, i am still practicing and did few places wrong even this time. basically, more time spend, better look she is.

Nomore Shelfspace Posted December 28, 2014 Share Posted December 28, 2014 A nice job on this one. I like the way the unusual details such as the rear gunners position and the obliquely firing guns are shown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

guaguachong Posted December 28, 2014 Author Share Posted December 28, 2014 great work! love the chipping, how did you do this?? Honestly. I am not good at chipping. I only use tamiya model brush put small around of silver chips randomly and then usu small piece of dishwash clothes lightly put silver chips along panel lines and wing tips. No salt or other advanced skills which i should use. I am glad you like the looking. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
