Brad Posted October 20, 2018 Share Posted October 20, 2018 This is the Hasegawa kit in 1/72. It's not a bad model, although I did have some issues fitting the engine nacelles that required a bit of filling and sanding, otherwise things went together well. Chinese markings come from the spares box with the fin flash being masked and painted. Surprisingly, the colour picture which my build is based on shows the aircraft in a reasonable condition, thus I chose not to highlight all the panel lines, just those around the engines as they appeared a bit grimey. I am lacking some white numbers on the tail, I couldn't find small enough decals in the spares. 15 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are in a "stencil" font. You're welcome to them if they're any use. Edited October 20, 2018 by Uncle Pete 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rabbit Leader Posted October 20, 2018 Share Posted October 20, 2018 That's come up lovely Brad, nice and clean and what appears to be a canopy masking nightmare - however you've won that battle. Cheers and well modelled.. Dave 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I might have to dig through the stash kits too lol. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dazey Posted October 20, 2018 Share Posted October 20, 2018 Hi Brad, That's a nice Ki-48. May I ask what paint you used? I don't know anything about the Chinese colour schemes. Regards, David 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lower surface is IJA Grey from Gunze and the upper is IJN Green Grey from Tamiya. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
