Looking very nice ajcmac! Dirty where the plane can get dirty and restrained on the rest! Compliments!

really very well done.   weathering is outstanding, bravo!

 

so nice to see weathering restrain with an IJAF build. 

[Paulster]

What Rick said. Very nicely done.

[Steve Scanlon]

Very well done,

Steve.

Nice finish

 

But what a funny looking airframe - never noticed the tail fin sits behind the tail plane... Makes it look as though it could fly backwards or something!

 

Thanks for sharing

Beautiful! I think you have captured the elusive "Nakajima Green" topside color perfectly! What paints did you use? (I've got a Ki-84 in the stash that I would love to start soon)

For the inside I used the Gunze H-80 (Khaki Green). The brown is a mixture of XF-60 and XF-10 Tamiya (1:1). For the bottom the XF-14 also from Tamiya.

I like this, great work! Japanese aircraft of WWII are growing on my list of favorites!

Lovely job. I just love restraint like this, so realistic. Can you run us through your workflow?

[ArnieC]

Nice Job! I like it a lot!

NOVAModeler my English is not good but I suppose you are referring to painting the model.

 

I do not have pictures of the process in this model. I use post-shading. At base color mix a few drops of white or yellow (n this case I used white) to lighten and apply the mixture on the insides of the panels. Base color, mix black to darken and apply it on the lines of the panels. The two mixtures containing about 80% thinner. Sometimes, for the shadows, I use only black (is the case) also with 80% thinner.

 

The result of the application of lights and shadows. It's a Spitfire in 1/48 scale but it is the only one with pictures of the process.

The colors used.

 

 

XF-83

 

 

Lights

 

 

Shadows

 

 

Top with the XF-82 and already with lights and shadows applied.

 

 

and now with XF-81.
