Creepy Pete Posted April 27, 2020 Share Posted April 27, 2020 Hello, Here's my just finished 1/72 Hasegawa G4M2 Betty. I've had this kit in the stash for many years, but the typical poor Hasegawa decals kept me from building it. Just about any aftermarket sheet is for the G4M1 version, which is quite different. Luckily I found some aftermarket decals, with bonus PE, by Rising Decals for this model earlier this year, so I had to build it. Apart from the decals and the PE radar antennas on the fuselage, it's OOB. I used Mr. Color paints. This "Hamaki" was based at Omura Airfield at Kyushu, Japan in June 1945. Thanks for looking, I hope you like it. 26 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toryu Posted April 27, 2020 Share Posted April 27, 2020 Perfect! I like the sparse chipping. A worthy representative of the Japanese long-range assault force. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aces High Posted April 27, 2020 Share Posted April 27, 2020 That's very nice! I've not yet made a Hasegawa kit, what's the usual issue with the decals? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Creepy Pete Posted April 27, 2020 Author Share Posted April 27, 2020 Thanks guys. @Aces High Old school Hasegawa decals had a creamy looking white, and red was sometimes more a maroon shade. They've improved over the years, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greg Law Posted April 27, 2020 Share Posted April 27, 2020 I like what you have done with this one. Just enough weathering to make it realistic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
