JMMendes Posted January 29, 2018 Share Posted January 29, 2018 Bom dia, This my last build, the Nakajima B5N2 kate 1/72 from Hasengawa. Old, but still a good model, has some nice details, and not many issues with the fitting... It was a great chalenge the use of the airbrush on this weird camo... it didnt came out has i was thinking, but i think it not awfull...it was great to improve the skill with the airbrush. Here are the photos; Fell free to comment and critic ! Thank you 25 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Masters Posted January 29, 2018 Share Posted January 29, 2018 Nice camo and weathering. For an old kit, you have done it justice! I think your airbrush skills are quite good! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jean Posted January 29, 2018 Share Posted January 29, 2018 Hi, I am not really up to date on Japanese camouflage patterns,but your airbrush skills are not too shabby (this is coming from someone who has never even held an airbrush...). If the camo is not the right one, at least you'll be alright with our next Italian plane! Good job!\JR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phantome Posted January 29, 2018 Share Posted January 29, 2018 Love the paint chipping on the underside... what technique did you use for that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMMendes Posted January 29, 2018 Author Share Posted January 29, 2018 Thank you all for the kind words !! The camo pattern is not too off just a bit bigger lines...i think in cover its more "irregular dots" Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used the AK heavy chipping product. I gave it a nice aluminium base, then applied X-22 clear tamiya and let it dry...then the AK heavy chipping products and let it dry for half an hour or something and aplied the green/gray...let it dry for another half an hour, and finally with a harsh brush with water rub it a bit untill i had the effect... Took me some time, but it came out alright... Thank you 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dazey Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 Very nice looking Kate. I think you did a great job on the camouflage (a scheme that would scare me!) Regards, David Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regards, David Thank you...and it did the same to me. I spent days/weeks looking at it in primer and thinking how to start ! After the first stokes..."well...i m not going back now !" I really enjoyed it...its fun and diferent from the "green/blue/gray" schemes...one day i l try the italian schemes...but not this year probably! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
