Reini78 Posted June 19, 2020 Share Posted June 19, 2020 #14/2020 After the Sonia, here´s my dad´s next finished IJ subject. This time an early version of the Kate bomber in an unusual and rare camo scheme, operated by the 12th Flying Group over southern China in 1939. Hasegawa kit, Eduard seatbelts, camo done with MRP Silver, Tamiya XF-52 Flat Earth and Gunze H59 IJN Green. The decals of this specific kit weren´t good. Tended to tear apart and especially the outer areas of the roundels slightly popped up again. So partly removed them again, used roundels form another Hasegawa Kate kit. The ones for the fuselage were slightly smaller so had to do some repainting too. Antenna wires were done with EZ Line.

SAT69 Posted June 19, 2020 Share Posted June 19, 2020 Very well done. The weathering and wear are very believable! A the BM crowd knows, I look at cockpit detail and you've done very well there too! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Lancaster Posted June 21, 2020 Share Posted June 21, 2020 Great work! I like the finish on it, rounds it all off nicely! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Masters Posted June 21, 2020 Share Posted June 21, 2020 I find this era (late 1930s) of IJA/IJN aircraft extremely compelling. Really classic lines and sporty designs. Yours shows this perfectly. Nice paint job too! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
