Naoshi Kanno's Kawanishi N1K2-J

Hello guys, here are some photos of my most recently completed model, Hasegawa's 1:72 N1K2-J Shiden.

That is a nice little model. You have captured the shine of the paint nicely. Interesting to see the white number on the fuselage national marking - something a bit different.

 

Thanks for sharing your pictures.

Very nice model with what looks like a very authentic camouflage green.

The number in the Hinomaru was applied for training purposes during the Kokutai build-up. It was later removed, but still faintly visible.

Great job. I'm building exactly same kit right now. Although I'm planning to do much more weathering - as per this picture:

@Celestialsphere @Toryu @Xirurg thank you all for your kind words.

@Xirurg are you building it in 1:48 or 72nd?

1/72, the same Hasegawa kit. I have no idea how I'm gonna do that look though. All chipping techniques I've tried none of them produced satisfactory results.
