Alan Gelo Posted November 29, 2018 Share Posted November 29, 2018 Hello, this is from 3 years back, very nice kit, classic Hasegawa quality. Used the Eduard photoetched set, Vector resin engines, Fine Molds and Mini World MGs, plus some minor scratchbuilding. Colours are all Gunze acrylics and some alclad for the metalics. All insignia is painted on, except for small Japanese print on the aft fuselage. Not the best of efforts, but I think worth looking. Hope you like it.

Dazey Posted November 29, 2018 Share Posted November 29, 2018 You've achieved a lovely finish on that model. I like the restrained level of weathering (and the colours look good to my eye). Regards, David 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toryu Posted November 29, 2018 Share Posted November 29, 2018 A wonderful model. The colours look superbly correct and the weathering is nice. It's a great idea to show the port engine cowlings removed. I prefer models like yours with a focus on detail rather than exaggerated weathering effects. Bravo!

Greg Law Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 Great to see this model. It is well built and painted to boot. I wish Hasegawa would reissue it. I've been looking for it as I know I can't get it in 1/48. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I don't like the "tank" weathering effect on airplanes...it's just so wrong... Cheers Alex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hobo Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 Wow, yet another masterpiece Alan. For some reason, the Nell has always been my favorite World War II Japanese aircraft. You captured it beautifully. Are the panel lines done with thinned oil paint? Please keep the builds coming! Thanks Alan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Alan. Thanks Hobo! Yes, the panel lines have received a black-burnt umber oil wash. I have also sprayed them with a highly thinned down mix of black and red brown. I'd like to do a NMF Nell in the future...too many models...so little time... A. Edited November 30, 2018 by Alan Gelo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nanond Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 This is one of my favorite Nell. It's 3 years already? It inspired me to start one. i got it the the painting stage but didn't proceed beyond that. You just reminded me to pick it up again. Yours is very nice.

opus999 Posted December 2, 2018 Share Posted December 2, 2018 Wow, she's a beaut! I think the Nell is such an elegant aircraft. I think you've weathered this one beautifully -- it's very realistic looking. I also like how you were able to make the paint finish look weather-worn. Great job! I'd love to do a Hasagawa Nell, but I don't know where I'd put it. :) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
