A warm welcome to all of you mates👍 Take your seats!

Well another very interesting project. Looking forward for the amazing result👍. What type of japanese cammo it will have? The same as on the picture? Or something "very special"?
12 April 2022, 10:55

It will be an example to follow for those of us who also have yet to make this kit in the future 👍

Looking so good so far, 👌
Daniel, How are the photoetches doing? Are they difficult to work?

Thank you very much Simon 👍
Definitely not suitable for someone who aimes for quick progress🙁
Bit by bit ..sep by step.. but i hope i will pay off in the end... Ignition Cable needed, not delivered with the pe set. i will have to o something of copper wire🙂

Interessant, aus einer alten Krücke wird ein hübsches Vögelchen! Bin schon gespannt wie es weiter geht! 👀👀👀

@akira san
Welcome and what does this mean!
My japanese is somewhat lost😉

Ok Daniel san
"I" in the "Type I heavy bomber" ("yi "might be a more appropriate English rendering of the Japanese pronunciation) is derived from the initial of Italy.
" jyubaku" is a Japanese contraction of heavy bomber. Thus, "I-shiki jyubaku" becomes "Type I heavy bomber".
Incidentally, the Ki-21 Sally (Type 97 heavy bomber) has the most familiar name "Kyunana jyubaku(here the type is omitted) in Japan. 😉

What a masterful use of etched parts, truly admirable! This is going to be a gem!

Long flight! Agree with Alec, nice to see it has landed back on the bench from the shelf of Dooooooooooooooom!

Hi Daniel! REALLY A PERFECT job on the etched parts!
If I may... I'm not totally convinced about the inner green, the Italian "verde anti corrosione" ( Italian Interior Green - FS 34558) was a bit different. Maybe it depends only on the light and the picture...

Hi Guys, thank you all very much for your encouraging words and motivation 👍
@Moreno yap it is more a pale reseda bluegreen..
Thanky for the feedback! Very much appreciated 👍

In order to get a authentic Br.20 i had to grind and fill the generator molded by Italeri and rebuild it a few mm forward. Luckily the whole thing is part of the etched Parts kit. Also the booth for the Observer behind the cockpit had to be cut out of the Fuselage.

Thank you very much mates for your nice and encouraging comments 👍
Very much appreciated..
Now the usual preshading procedure is done 👍
14 June 2022, 17:05
![](/profiles/img/38460-541-s.jpg)
Thanks Cuajete and Robin!👍
Ill have to find a solution for the generator!
14 June 2022, 21:21
![](/profiles/img/38460-541-s.jpg)
Thanks Roland and glad you like rhe outcome👍
It was a lot of fumbling indeed😉
15 June 2022, 20:06

Thank you Maicon, Simon and Juskifo 👍
Really appreciate your praising comments and motivating words! Makes the efforts worthwhile 👍

Welcome Rui, glad you found this too mate!
Thank you Alex Moreno and Cuajete for your warm and encouraging comments 👍

Thank you so much Rui👍 That words are very kind Mate 👍

Very good choice! I have the kit for the late colours and I find them very precise 👍🏻 looking for your progress!!!

Hi Moreno, welcome and yap color fit looks good so far.. So here we go.
30 June 2022, 19:23
![](/profiles/img/38460-541-s.jpg)
Thank you very much Julian, Cuajete and Maicon 👍
The bigger challenge is to take a picture where you can see it as it looks on the bench. 🙂
1 July 2022, 21:39
![](/profiles/img/23938-707-s.jpg)
One can really see that preshading through the paint. Looks really good Daniel.
2 July 2022, 15:21
![](/profiles/img/87527-778-s.jpg)
Dear Daniel, you are really the master of the Italian planes! I'm super happy to have the opportunity to follow your work!👍🏻
4 July 2022, 05:48
![](/profiles/img/13641-502-s.jpg)
Now I know why I didn't get this kit in my stash - too many cool camos to choose from. Beautiful paintwork, can't stop lurking here Herr Klink 😉
4 July 2022, 20:41
![](/profiles/img/27826-126-s.jpg)
Wow, Daniel... Looks great! Fantastic painting job as always.
I think like Łukasz: Too many cool camos to choose from.

Thank you all mates for you warm and praising words.. Very much appreciated 👍
Now the fiddly antenna construction must be done by scratch ...
6 July 2022, 21:21
![](/profiles/img/78784-523-s.jpg)
The magic of rigging/antennas.
I really need to look into that. Planes and ships look somehow incomplete without.
Do you use a fine sewing thread for that or special hobby material like from Uschi van der Rosten or AK, was it I believe?
7 July 2022, 07:21
![](/profiles/img/27826-126-s.jpg)
The rigging looks great, Daniel!! 👍
How did you make the extreme parts that are holded with tweezers? Fine braided copper wire?
7 July 2022, 17:13
![](/profiles/img/38460-541-s.jpg)
Hi mates, first of all many thanks for your warm and nice comments👍
Very much appreciated🤛
I used flexible rigging stuff by MiG for the wire and the triangles are soldered spare parts of a etching fret!
12 July 2022, 08:58
![](/profiles/img/38460-541-s.jpg)
Thank you very much Mates very much appreciat your nice comments!
Soon this will be completed 👍
