Nakajima E8N1 (1:48) from Hasegawa

[Mnemonic]

Hi guys, I'm not a frequent poster here, but looking forward to contribute more to a forum. I'm mostly fan of WW1 aircraft models in 1:32 scale, however I do love seaplanes in every scale, and here I want to share my latest model: Nakajima E8N1 in 1:48.

 

The Nakajima E8N was a Japanese ship-borne, catapult-launched, reconnaissance seaplane of the Second Sino-Japanese War. It was a single-engine, two-seat biplane with a central main-float and underwing outriggers. During the Pacific War, it was known to the Allies by the reporting name "Dave".

 

BI-2, was serving on Battleship Kirishima in 1938.

That's utterly fantastic! And brush painted with acrylic, too? You are a brave soul, but it looks great. Weathering and the base look very realistic, as well.

 

Thanks for sharing!
