Timc Posted June 8, 2014 Share Posted June 8, 2014 Hello all: This one's finally done. Here are a few mediocre photos of the finished model. I used WEM Colourcoats Kawanishi Green for the topside and the bottom is alcad. The decals are not the best but are useable with the exception of the yellow commander's stripes. They're not opaque enough to cover the fuselage Hinomaru and since I had already installed those, I was committed to painting the stripes. All in all, a decent kit but the instructions either have a couple parts reversed (the wheel well inner door actuators and the aft canopy portion or I really have a case of dislexia. Here's a link to the build thread http://forum.largescalemodeller.com/topic/1999-first-kit-of-2014-hasegawas-new-132-n1k2-j/ Comments always welcome. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RalphSarc Posted June 8, 2014 Share Posted June 8, 2014 Great job Tim! Love the color scheme and chipping of the fuselage and wings. Especially like the chipping where panel lines cross as it really adds interest! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timc Posted June 8, 2014 Author Share Posted June 8, 2014 Thanks all. I always try to limit my chipping even though it seems as though some Japanese aircraft shed it in sheets (as it seems but in reality, it was probably bit by bit). Apologies for the crappy photographs, I'm using a 12 year old 2.1 Megapixel camera that I think needs to be replaced or have its lens cleaned. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Scanlon Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 Tim this is excellent, particularly like the restrained weathering, very nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
One-Oh-Four Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 You did a very nice job, Tim! Love the poisonous pea-green paintjob... Reminds me of meals at British Motorway-diners... But that's for the food, not the model!! As I said, great job!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timc Posted June 11, 2014 Author Share Posted June 11, 2014 Thanks all: The paint is WEM Colourcoats Kawanishi Green. It is indeed light but It looks good in natural light, not quite as bright in person. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
