Great Build! What references did you use for the break lines for the Einheitsanhänger 5t? I would like to add them to mine but I am not locating any reference images.

Cuajete
Very nice Hien 👍
Congrats!

Franck Drebin
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 😊

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

Guy Rump
Very impressive build, congrats 👍

Franck Drebin
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.

Franck Drebin
…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.

Franck Drebin
Thank you Guy Rump 😊

Neil
Very nice work indeed Franck 👍 agree with William the camo is outstanding! 🙂

Franck Drebin
Thank you very much Neil. Cheers 😉

Juskifo
Super taf camarade

Finn
Nice detailing and even better paint job

BC NRA
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.)

Franck Drebin
Thank you BC NRA. I'm glad if I encourage you to build this splendid kit. You will enjoy. Thanks Juskifo and Finn too for your comments 👍

Kyle DeHart
That camo has a wow factor for sure. Awesome

John Wilkes
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.

BC NRA
I just started Tamiya Ki 61.

Franck Drebin
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.

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

Franck Drebin
Well done Katherius, it's definitely not an easy job 😉👍

Franck Drebin
Thank you Pierre and Murtaza 🙂

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

一生还一夜
The camo looks awesome!

Mick Burdett
Great Camo have to try Tamiya camo sheet too

Pietro De Angelis
Amazing work, congrats!

Franck Drebin
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.

Isaac Kite
An extraordinary Hien. She looks ANGRY! congrats.

yeon sung Jung
What a wonderful piece of work!!

Rui S
Great Paintjob 👍
I think photos 29 or 30, would be beautiful teasers 🤔

Franck Drebin
Thank you for your kind comments. Good remark Rui. Indeed, it's not mandatory to follow the chronological evolution with the photos 😉

Mark Sherwood
Nice Hien Frank. Like the camo'. I find Japanese aircraft somewhat under represented in our hobby, it seems a few of us are trying to rectify this. Spot on 🤟🥸🤘

Neil
Hello Franck 👋 looks really good mate. Impressive 👍

Mr D
Hi Franck 👋

Chrisswe
Beautiful!

Mr D
Franck, is the camouflage a decal?? it looks really fantastic 👌 lf you painted it yourself you have done a brilliant job.
Really nice model...... definitely on the future list.
😃👍

Ben M
Fantastic job, that's a difficult scheme. How were the decals?

Franck Drebin
Thank you very much mates for your kind words. Indeed, I used Tamiya decals for this special camo. Unfortunately, i'm not an expert with airbrush. So I'm really happy with the result achieved with this help. They had good reaction with Micro Sol and Set but they are very thin and were not always cooperative. The most difficult part was the fuselage. I found easier to cut the long decals in two parts to avoid a fatal twist. And most important, they don't alter with the metal finish.

Franck Drebin
You're right Mark. Even if I'm still loving the classic warbirds, I'm very interested by other Air Forces like Japanese 😉

Robert Podkoński
Fantastic job so far. Keep it up!

MARCELO FACCHINI
Thank you very much for the encouragement my friend

Carlos Proença
Belo trabalho Marcelo. Nos detalhes e no capricho.

George Williams
Looking gorgeous.

MARCELO FACCHINI
thank's!!!!

Olivier
Nice!
I think the armoured car should be positioned a little more towards the front of the lorry. Just a question of balance.
