Albi Hitz
I try to give my best .... 😉 ... its a typical side project

Es-haq Khosravi
I really like its camo and shape! 🙂

Albi Hitz
The Shape of this plane is funny ... it looks fat with short wings on the other hand its a kind of elegant!
You talk about the yellow lightning on the side i guess. I go for an usual grey / mitsubishi green camo ....

Wim van der Luijt
like the chipped paint!

Albi Hitz
Thanks Wim. I used AK Interactive Heavy Chipping fluid for the first time ... cool stuff

Wim van der Luijt
good to hear I was rather curious about that stuff....

Es-haq Khosravi
Sorry Albi! Ididn't exactly mean the camo, But the chipped green paint and that red circular signs, it's an special camo for japanese bird of wwii! 😉

Albi Hitz
Thats why i like the japanese WWII planes as well ... the big red dots on this nice dark green ... its a special "eye catcher" and you're right there is a lot of weathering options in the japanese aircraft ... 🙂

Es-haq Khosravi
Did you use decals for the red signs or they are painted by masking?

Albi Hitz
In this case i used the decals from the kit with decal softener.
For the bigger scales i would use the masks. With the masks you can "play" easier with fading and chipping ...

Bill Gilman
Very nice job! I like the "wear and tear!"

Albi Hitz
Thank you Bill. I'm testing some techniques ...
