Thank you Cuajete, it's a really nice and enjoyable kit, and using Tamiya camouflage decal sheet is helpful when like me, you're not a master of the Airbrush 😊

Nice work, love the camo. The silver finish and panels came out great. Question - why the black primer than the tan?

Thanks William Joel, the black primer was Mr Finishing Surfacer 1500 from Mr Hobby. For the decals and the weathering (very light in fact) I used the Prince August Satin spray varnish. It was the first time I used that products and I'm really happy with the result.

…sorry William Joel, the black primer is to get a better result with the aluminium color in order to achieve a metallic finish. I often read that but of course, it depends on what you're looking for.

Beautiful! I have that kit in my stash. Your excellent job on building your Ki61 has inspired me to build that next. (As soon as I finish my IL-2.)

I bought the 1/48 scale version without the full decals. Freehanding the camo job taught me a new respect for the brush. This is a beautiful aeroplane and your work makes it look great. Thank you for posting your work.

Copied BC NRA! I will follow that when you will post it.
Thanks Kyle and John. Indeed, doing this camo without decals is a real challenge.

Nice build, congrats! I didn't expect decals for this cammo 🙂. I did mine with airbrush.

An almost lizard-like look: great way to show off the lines of this fighter. Great job!

Thank you mates. Tamiya decals don't have a good reputation and indeed, they are very thin and challenging by moment. The most diificult part was the fuselage. I had to cut them in two parts to avoid a fatal twist. But at the end, I'm very happy with the result.
