pierre Giustiniani Posted April 3, 2021 Share Posted April 3, 2021 (edited) Hi gents Transkit MDC used to transform Tamiya's kit. Unusual camo as it's a captured Rufe and given to French Air Force by ATAIU. Ame-iro following the recipe of Bruce Salmon. Nakajima green with AK real color (Black green). Happy easter Edited April 4, 2021 by pierre Giustiniani 56 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nikola Topalov Posted April 5, 2021 Share Posted April 5, 2021 Brilliant model! Well done! Great paint work and weathering. The first photo reminds me of Rikyu Watanabe's beautiful illustrations. Best, Nikola 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S. Uehlinger Posted April 5, 2021 Share Posted April 5, 2021 Fantastic Stuff. Its fascinating that the French used captured Japanese aircraft in SEA. The postwar period was absolute Chaos....with hundreds of thousands of Surrendered Japanese on dozens of islands, Mountbatten and others, including the Dutch, used them as troops to fight Communist insurgents in Malaya, Indonesia and perhaps even French Indo China. This is similar to the situation in 1919 when thousands of surrendered German troops were used by the Allies to fight Communist movements in Hungary, Latvia, Estonia and Ukraine... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pierre Giustiniani Posted April 7, 2021 Author Share Posted April 7, 2021 Thank you guys Yes, chaotic period and prelude of future conflicts. For France Indochina war and Algeria war (even if the term of pacification was used instead war as it was French departments). Have a nice day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kapam Posted April 9, 2021 Share Posted April 9, 2021 Stunning work! Even if there hadn't been a captured version, the realism of your model would've convinced me otherwise. Brilliant! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
