Eyes in the Sky...1/48 Mitsubishi Ki-15-I "Babs", Imperial Japanese Army "Tiger Squadron"

My dad´s next finished Imperial Japanese subject.
After four combat aircraft, this time a recon plane.
The very nice Fine Molds kit, fit is very good, except the one-piece canopy (the only canopy provided) didn´t sit that well in the rear area. Painted with Tamiya XF-14 JA Grey, XF-13 JA Green and XF-64 Red Brown. EZ Line for the antenna wire.
The kit has nice cockpit detail but sadly you don´t really see it afterwards.

Hi Reini!

 

Interesting choice, another one of your Dad's masterpieces👍 Good to see some Japanese subjects as they are quite neglected compared to the other major powers of WW2.

 

Cheers

Markus

 

Thanks Markus! That´s right, or at least not of interest that much.

Beautifully done!  I have looked at buying this kit a number of times but have never pulled the trigger but this one has convinced me to give it a go.  Love the light touch with the weathering, it looks perfect and I think it is a good representation for that period of the war.

A really interesting subject and the paint scheme is spot on, very crisp around the canopy framing. I really like the earlier Japanese aircraft and its good to see one modelled so well.
