Gorgeous rust streaking. Is that scratchbuild railing? It's so fine...

Tcamp
Thank you sir.
The deck wire is ez line my 1st experience with it ( that stuff is awesome!)
Conning tower is brass 1/200 railing ( from timos-modelworld)

M0rce
I see you renamed her. Any specific connections to this name?

Tcamp
Ypu know most builds are of the gato 212 i wanted to pay homage to those that gave ultimate sacrifice i never heard of the albacore before found it researching she hit a mine and lost with all hands. But on that same patrol she sunk a carrier. So anyway i had the numbers they are out of scale and in actuality would not be on the bow during patrol but they tie the kit to the nameplate. For me when the styrene scales tip they tip on the side of artistic licsense ( lol).
Anyway thats how that came to be. I wanted something different.

Tcamp
She was located not too long ago by japanese research team its on you tube

M0rce
I always like when a modeller 'makes it their own'
The Albacore is looking great.
How will you display her?

M0rce

Robert Podkoński
Great job!

Robert Podkoński
Fantastic job on this demanding kit. Chapeau bas!

Marcin Terlikowski
very nice painting/shadows on panels.

Bernhard Schrock
Great Job! Looks for me like DIY dressed skin?

Mr D
Very 👍👍 nice.
The Rising sun decals look painted on and looks good. Nice job, lm yet to build a WW2 Japanese fighter.
Antenna is good too.....is it thread or stretch spru ??

Guy Rump
Lovely job! 👍

Weizenbrot
Thank you Marcin!

Weizenbrot
Thank you Bernhard. Yes it is, I will upload some more pictures for the process.

Weizenbrot
Hi Mr D. Haha they are painted on. I tried to use as less decals as possible except somethings like the Japanese "No Step" which is too complicated for me XD. The Antenna is 0.05 mm copper wire.

Weizenbrot
Thank you Guy!

Marcin Terlikowski
I finished exactly the same one few weeks ago. What color is on fuselage?

Weizenbrot
Hi Marcin. It was Mr. Hobby's Kawasaki Green for base. For highlight I added some yellow and white. For shadow I added Japanese propeller or any brown in red tone will work.

CaptGPF
Agree with Marvin - beautiful work!

Mr D
Really nice detailed finish, Nice Japanese green 👌
Can l ask what you used the Dremel for..??
Like it 👍👍👍

John
Great result and attention to detail. Riveting job, chipping and paintjob, all top-notch 👍

Weizenbrot
Thank you, CaptGPF!

Weizenbrot
Hi Mr D, did you mean the power tool? I used it to sand along rivet lines to create a stressed skin effect.

Weizenbrot
Thank you John for your like!

Kate Ward
It looks great!

Weizenbrot
Thank you Kate!

Steve Hancock
Beautiful work

Weizenbrot
Thank you Steve!

Mr D
Hi Weizenbrot.
Yes, l thought that was what was happening? But wanted to confirm..... good idea...more realistic as aluminium wraps to the structure.... especially on the Japanese craft.
Thanks......" Always good to learn"😃👍👍

Weizenbrot
Thank you Mr D! I truly agree with you that the the effect is suitable for Japanese aircrafts. I was thinking of giving the observers a feeling of the thin skin is really attached on spars and ribs.

Thomas Wirsching
Great Ki-100! Mine is on hold because I was never able to find a plan where the rivetting is visible for this specific aircraft. Looks like you found one. Can you give me a hint?

Neuling
A masterpiece.

Weizenbrot
Hey Thomas, sure! I got the rivet map scanned. It was in 48 scale so is perfect for this kit. I can send it to you if you can leave me your email.

Weizenbrot
Thank you Nueling! I'm a big fan of your Vietnam dioramas!
