russ c Posted June 26, 2022 Share Posted June 26, 2022 Howdy All, Me again, come to bother you all with some photo`s of my recently completed Tenzan ( Jill ) My second attempt at Hasegawa`s 1/48 kit, from the `with folded wings boxing` Built as usual 99.9% OOB With just aerial wires, brake pipes and some seat belts added I realise the flaps and underside gun position probably wouldn`t have been deployed on the ground but I like them....... ....so just pretend it`s having some last minute maintenance 🙂 The paint guide suggested that the undersides of Jill`s later in the war were painted silver, so I went with that.... and mixed the Metallic Blue for the wheel wells and wing folds from odd paints until it looked close enough Hope you enjoy the pic`s, thanks for looking Cheers Russ 50 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jean Posted June 26, 2022 Share Posted June 26, 2022 Hi Russ, once again, a beautiful build! And it is a great looking plane, so it is a win-win! I have the Fujimi 1/72 in the stash, and I am still circumspect of the red torpedo head. Did you find any evidence of the tip being this color? Congratulations for a stunning build.

Pete in a shed Posted June 27, 2022 Share Posted June 27, 2022 A really interesting subject made and painted with the usual aplomb. I'm really pleased to see this as I am having a bit of an excursion from my usual stuff and have started building the Fujimi Nakajima C6N1-S Saiun (Painted Cloud) MYRT. The Instructions are totaly in Japanese so I will use your beauty as a colour guide. ( I dont have any specific IJN Paints.). Wish me luck with the paint chipping!

Jagdtiger1 Posted June 27, 2022 Share Posted June 27, 2022 Lovely job on that Russ! Especially like the weathering near the wing folds. Did you paint on the hinomaru or are they decals? James. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
