P1Y1 Ginga (Frances) - Hasegawa - - Finished

Soeren R.
Time to get started with my next project 🙂

Watching

Soeren R.
The cockpit is now almost ready - only a wash is still missing. I think the result is looking ok so far. 🙂

Kerber
Oh, nice...I like that AC! Do You build bomber or nigh fighter version?

Thomas Bischoff
count me in!

Soeren R.
It will be the bomber version.
For the nightfighter Ive the S version kit from Hasegawa. 🙂

Kerber
Could You please send me the manual for NF on private message, not to spoil Your topic? I need the pictures of the cabin, second seat and radio/radar equipment if any exists...I have the ancient Revell and i'm stuck without more than basic details...

Soeren R.
The cockpit is the same as mine. 🙂 1999.co.jp/eng/image/10115018z/70/1

1999.co.jp/eng/10115018 <-- a great site to find manuals especially for Hasegawa kits. 🙂

Kerber
Thank You! Then, I am back... 😉

Soeren R.
🙂 Sadly Hasegawa cockpits dont have that much details, but I think its ok in this scale.

Kerber
Yes, Hasegawa is always somehow sparse in the cabin area, but, everything other is ok... With good references man can have very nice replica.

Soeren R.
The body is now glued and till now it looks like I dont need filler at all - ok maybe on some tiny little spots 🙂

The wings on the other hand are a different story. Here I need probably some filler between wings and body.

Soeren R.
Canopy masked and painted in interior green.
Some extra parts are now also painted, chpped and got a wash.

Christian Meyerhoff
Well Soeren, You are getting better and better. Excellent work so far! 👍

Soeren R.
Thx a lot. 🙂
The next step is now to paint the engines and to try out the chipping fluid.
If it looks like the wing, it should be more than ok.

Marcel Klemmer
Sören, looks good. I will follow 🙂

Miro Herold
WoW!!! Superanfang.
Nur Vorsicht bei den Montex-Masken. Sie verlieren ganz schnell ihre Klebkraft und Form.
One of the most beautiful bird.
😉

Soeren R.
Thx mates! 🙂

@ Miro
Ja das habe ich auch schon gehört und ich hoffe, dass ich spätestens zum nächsten Wochenende die Lackierung machen kann - wenigstens die Oberseite zum Chipping 😉

Kerber
Nice! I have to find masks too..Idk if Montex is good or accurate for old Revell's Ginga...And Your progress in modelling is very fast and for big respect!

Soeren R.
Thx a lot Kerber and I do my best to evolve my modelling skills, but you learn always something new and there is no end in sight 🙂

Hmm probably they wont fit, but you could try it out.

Soeren R.
The body is now ready for the upper base coat in black.
I only paint the top side in black, because to prepare it for the aluminium and the chipping.

The belly will get a grey coat and a pre-shading.

Cristian Bordina
Great job so far 🙂 Cokpit are really nice and wing chipping are very realistic !!!

Soeren R.
Thx Christian.
Yeah I hope the chipping will look similar on the P1Y wings, but Im more curious how it will look on the coolings 🙂

Cristian Bordina
It's a japanese plane... GO HEAVY with chipping 😄

Soeren R.
Yeah i know, but most pics of the P1Y are not showing that much "chipping" in real.
So it will only be little bit and not TO much 😉

Soeren R.
Wings are filled and you still see a little panel line on each side, which I wanted, because you can see this also on drawings and pics.

The engines are also paint ready now and the first layer will be in "Black Base" from AK Extreme Metal to preparte the coolings for the Extreme Metal Aluminium.

Cristian Bordina
I like very much the paint-chipping job you made with engine. 🙂

Soeren R.
Thx Christian, but I made a second run because it was to much in my opinion 🙁

Martien Lourens
So far it looks good, Soeren. Also your chipping work.

Soeren R.
Thanks Martien. 🙂

Edgars Bizūns
Superb! You inspired me to start thinking about this plane, I got it in 1/144 scale.. 🙂

Soeren R.
Thx 🙂

Kerry COX
Once again Soeren, you have all our attention, and no wonder, as this is looking most intriguing mate and well done so far. 🙂 👍

Soeren R.
Thx a lot Kerry. 😉
Its always nice to hear that you like it 🙂

Kerry COX
You are a shining example of how to make things turn out perfectly mate, and we all love your efforts and work. 🙂 👍

Soeren R.
😉 Thx but there are still some stuff to do.
The paint job for example will and it will be hopefully not to hard to achieve

Soeren R.
Grey primer is sprayed and next step is now to repair some weak spots with filler.

Soeren R.
Engines done.

Roland Sachsenhofer
Something I have seen just now: great chipping-work on the engines Soeren, this will be a splendid looking model of a beautiful aircraft!

Soeren R.
Thank you Roland. 🙂
Im also happy with the result Ive achieved with the chipping fluid from AK 🙂

Kerry COX
excellent results Soeren, Salute. 👍 👍 🙂

Soeren R.
Thx a lot Kerry. Btw. I got my Zoukei kit yesterday 🙂

Kerry COX
This will be most interesting to see your Zouk make it's debut Soeren. 🙂

Soeren R.
🙂 Yeah, but this will still take some time! Not before Im confident enough to say, that Iam "at my best" and "will make a great kit out of it". 🙂

Kerry COX
You are more than ready Soeren, no doubt. 🙂

Soeren R.
Thx Kerry.
But Im still not feeling really confident about that!

The first step now is to build another 48 kit to see how that goes, because you have here so many ways to improive the kit in 48, which you havent in 72. 🙂

Pierre-Christian Baudru
Hi Soeren, VERY NICE WORK ON THIS MODEL ! How easy was the use of the Montex masks ? I will folow your build 🙂
Cheers, Pierre.

Soeren R.
Thx a lot Pierre.
They are great. The only spot I had some problems were the nose glas masks - around the machine gun. They werent so easy to place in the beginning.
After I cut those in half and placed them separately (and fix some spots with Tamiya tape), it was perfect.
So nothing really serious here.

I already ordered another set of them for my second P1Y and for the upcoming Ki-67 (probably my next build).

Clifford Keesler
This one is looking awesome.

Soeren R.
Thx Clifford 😉 Ill do my best that it will be still at the end 😛

Miro Herold
Hi Sören,
my fully respect!!! The engines (Abplatzer) became absolutelly genial! Man bist du gut 😉

Soeren R.
Thx a lot Miro.
Ja, ich bin auch ganz glücklich über meinen ersten Versuch bzw. zweiter Versuch 🙂

Ich bin gespannt wie die Hauptlackierung dann wird 😉

Soeren R.
Finally the P1Y is now in aluminium and next step is now the masking of the camo plus the usage of the chipping fluid.

I must admit that I hate to pain this color, because you see every flaw...... and that means NO macro pics of the P1Y

Soeren R.
Thx James 🙂

Miro Herold
So ein hübscher und eleganter Vogel.
Es sieht superlativ aus.

Soeren R.
Dank dir Miro.
Großer Nachteil an ner Alu Lackierung ist, dass du wirklich JEDE kleine Stelle siehst, welche schlecht ist...
Zum Glück kriegt das Modell noch 2x Klarlack und ein Wash.

Kerry COX
You have achieved some wonderful results here Soeren, and I am sure the next part will look just as good as the silver.🙂
Well done mate. 👍

Soeren R.
Thx a lot Kerry 😉
But there is still a lot to do with this one.
The next step is one Im still a little bit afraid of (masking the plane for the green paint on the top) and also the decals and I are not the biggest friends till now 😛

Christian Ristits
Sieht geil aus, super!

Soeren R.
Dank dir Christian 😉 Einer Makro-Aufnahme würde es nicht so gut standhalten, aber so sieht es echt gut aus.
Bin gespannt wie die AK Metal Farben am Ende nach dem Washing und seidenmattem Klarlack aussehen. 🙂

Kerry COX
Why are you worried. ?
Is it because the paint might lift . ?

Soeren R.
No no more about the masking itself that it will work out in the end 😉

Soeren R.
Painted the rest of the cowlings on the wing and used the chipping fluid.
I think the result of the cowlings looks ok in the end or what do you think?

Cristian Bordina
I like it.... but what is the "chipping fluid" ????

Soeren R.
Youtube Video This one from AK or MIG

Clifford Keesler
Looking awesome sir, I'm sure the final result will be stunning.

Cristian Bordina
Thanks Soeren 😉

Soeren R.
No prob Cristian 😉

Thx a lot Clifford and I really hope that too 🙂

Soeren R.
Camo is now done and its looking quite good in my opinion.
Now the paint has to dry for a few hours (3-4) and after that I will stat with the chipping plus the painting of the yellow stripes on the front wing.

I really hope that the chipping will turn out okay, because Im not really sure were I have to chip and also how much I should chip.

Soeren R.
What do you think guys?
To much or ok?

Christian Meyerhoff
Excellent chipping! Very well done! 👍

arne vd burg
I go with Christian

Soeren R.
Thx guys but I must admit that I already changed it 😉
Here is the current status 🙂

Kerry COX
The current status looks better than I expected Soeren. 👍

Soeren R.
Thx Kerry. 🙂

The paint job is now done.
Now I only need to wait until the yellow is dry to chip this, too
After that I will spray a clear coat and then apply decals 🙂 (but that tomorrow)

Clifford Keesler
Looks excellent to me.

Pierre-Christian Baudru
Nice effects on the green !

Efthymios Chatzopoulos
very good idea to use lego for base on your model when you paint it. I am going to visit my nephews to borrow some things... 🙂

Soeren R.
Thx Pierre.

And true the Lego is really helpful but I bought now a stand from Vertigo Minitures to replace it 😉

Efthymios Chatzopoulos
if you are takling something like this vertigo-miniatures.c..-scale-1-72-and-1-48 I find it very interesting!!

Soeren R.
Yep exactly this

Soeren R.
So now its finally finished.
I think the result looks okay. Maybe a little bit too much on some spots, but for the first time its enough 😉

Christian Ristits
It looks very good, its not overdone, you found the right balance I think!

Roland Sachsenhofer
Really great result Soeren! That´s a very appealing and convincing finish, you can be proud of it!

Cristian Bordina
Me too, I think that chipping is in the right measure. Congrats 😉

Soeren R.
Thx a lot mates 🙂
Ive now also uploaded a picture with the engines on it (with tamiya tape 😄 ) and it fits very well.

Kerry COX
"Chipper" we will have to call you now Soeren. 🙂 👍
Looking great mate. 👍

Soeren R.
Thank you Kerry 😉

Soeren R.
Can anybody give me a clue how the exhaust stains on this one would run? Bottom and top or only top?!

Soeren R.
I chipped both sides of the wing, because I saw pics with persons on both sides.
The left side was probably the "main route" to the cockpit and thats why you see here more and heavier chpping.

Edgars Bizūns
I suppose the exaust stains would run away from the sides of gondolas on the top of the wing, but under it - on the the sides of gondolas itself.

Soeren R.
Hey Edgars,
thx for that.
Ive looked now on several engine pics and you see non exhaust stain at all.
So I will probably leave it like it is now and call it a day 😉

Soeren R.
Decals are now applied.
Sadly I destroyed one pair of decals - thanks to Mr. Setter, but you wont miss them, if you dont know which. 🙂

Soeren R.
Thank you James. 🙂
Im also really happy with the result of my first try to chip my 6th kit 😉

Soeren R.
Both are now ready for the weathering. 🙂

Christian Meyerhoff
Excellent work! 👍

Soeren R.
Thx Christian 😉
Im still a bit afraid of unmasking the P1Y because Ive a bad feeling that some color or clear is gone through a little whole or so....
Like the antenna whole on the canopy....

Stephan Ryll
looks good so far 👍

Soeren R.
Thx 😉

Mats Bengtsson
This one turned out really nice so far. Well done Soeren 👍

Soeren R.
Thanks a lot a Mats 🙂

Soeren R.
And done. 🙂

Chris Parsons
Beautiful job!

Soeren R.
Thx a lot Chris 😉

Doug
Very impressive, Soeren! Great build and paint. Interesting aircraft.

Soeren R.
Thx a lot Doug 😉

Roland Sachsenhofer
Very well done Sören, a real beauty!

Soeren R.
Thank you 😉 You re to kind Roland 🙂

Cristian Bordina
Really great job Soeren. Congrats 🙂

Soeren R.
Thanks mates 😉

Rob van Dodewaard
very very nice thanks for sharing

Soeren R.
Thx Rob 😉 And I think thats the reason why we are all here, arent we?
Especially me who learned a lot here and meet really nice people.

Thomas Bischoff
turned out very nice: just the right amount of chipping

Soeren R.
Thx Thomas. 🙂

Pierre-Christian Baudru
Great job !

Soeren R.
Thanks Pierre!
Im really happy that so many of you are liking this one 😉

Ekki
Very good work.

Choppa Nutta
I like your painting style, it has a slight graphic novel look that I find appealing 🙂

arne vd burg
Wow she looks realy good , you did a very good job with weathering .👍

Soeren R.
Thanks mates 😉

Clifford Keesler
"Bravo" Soeren, she looks awesome.

Soeren R.
Thank you Clifford 🙂

Clifford Keesler
You are welcome sir.

Soeren R.
😉 I hope that my next IJA project (probably the one after the Egg plane) will turn out as nearly as good

Ulf Petersen
Great job, Sören!👍

Soeren R.
Thank you Ulf. 🙂 Maybe I bring this one with me, if I will attend on your Stammtisch in a few months.

Choppa Nutta
looking forward to your egg plane Soeren,
you know I got a soft spot for egg planes 😄

Soeren R.
😉 Me too Choppa.
From the amount of parts it should be an fun and easy/fast build.
I also want to test out several aluminium shades on the different panels to practice this method for my upcoming kits (like the P-51).

Choppa Nutta
"Slap togethers" are great for experimenting on 🙂
I'm enjoying my "Slap Together" Hawk Aero Cannon at the mo,
a good candidate for experimenting with painting 😉

Soeren R.
True and thats the reason why I choose a Egg Plane.
Cheap, not to big and easy/fast to build.
So the best kit for testing some stuff like painting panels in differenting metallic colors 🙂

Kerber
Oho-ho! Nice Ginga ! Congrat mate!

Soeren R.
Thank you Kerber. 🙂
At first I thought the chipping was probably to much, but after all of your respone, I think it is ok 😉

Bill Davis
Nice,I like the weathering!

Holger Kranich
Cool build, Soeren! Nicely torn and worn!🙂

Soeren R.
Thanks mates 😉

Roberto Rocat
A beautiful aircraft, a great model 👍

Soeren R.
Thanks everybody for the kind words to my 6th kit 🙂

Bulldog Scale Models
Nice work really nice paint work and the weathering is very nice

Soeren R.
Thank you Antonio 😉

Martien Lourens
Nice model and weathering and chipping.👍

Soeren R.
Thanks a lot Martien 🙂

Miro Herold
EINFACH WAHNSINN!!!! Sauber gebaut. Frage Abplatzer- Haarlack Metode? Würde ich auch mal versuchen.

Erik Leijdens
Impressive work mate! 👍

Soeren R.
Thx mates.
@ Miro
Nein, ich habe dafür Worn Effects von AK Interactive genutzt.
Ist wirklich klasse das Mittel und extrem einfach zu benutzen.
Youtube Video

Kerry COX
You did it again Soeren. 👍 😉

Soeren R.
Hehe what exactly Kerry ? 😉

Kerry COX
Made a huge success of your modelling..............what else. !!!??? 🙂 👍

Burkhard D
The pace of your progress in skills and techniques is amazing, Soeren. 👍👍👍

Soeren R.
😉 Thx a lot Kerry and Burkhard

Hanno Kleinecke
Beautiful work Soeren, just the right amount of chipped paint I would
say. Well done !

Soeren R.
Thank you Hanno.
I must admit that I wasnt sure how much I should chip at first but luckily i obviously choose for the right amount 🙂

Ulf Petersen
You did. Those Jap-planes often seem to be quite overdone to me. Your model appears to be well balanced to me.

Soeren R.
Thanks again Ulf 😉
Lets see if I can achieve something similar on my A6M from Airfix.

Miro Herold
Dankeschön für den Tip Sören. Werde ich gerne testen.

Christian Keller
Hi Soeren, schöne gebautes und seltenes Modell gratuliere. 🙂
Wie hast du die Farbabplatzer gemacht?
Hi Soeren , beautiful built and rare model congratulate . 🙂
How did you do the chipping?

Soeren R.
Hey Christian,
danke schön. 🙂
die Methode siehst du bisschen weiter oben. (Tut. Video ist auch dabei) 😉
Habe es mit dem Liquid Fluid von AK Interactive gemacht (Worn Effects)

Christian Keller
Ups, da war ich wohl blind 😉

Miro Herold
Ich kann mich nicht genug die wunderschöne Bilder der Peggy angucken. Echt Klasse Ergebnis!

Soeren R.
Danke schön 😉, aber du meinst wohl die Frances - die Peggy ist die Ki-67 welche aber demnächst auch folgt*g*

Miro Herold
Oh, ja diese Weiber Namen 😉)))

Soeren R.
Hehe ja wohl wahr.

Burkhard D
Respekt! Sieht toll aus! 👍👍😭👍

Soeren R.
Danke schön 😉

Kerry COX
Total respect for your talent Soren. 👍
A BIG salute. 🙂

Soeren R.
Thx Kerry even I didn't build anything in the last couple months 🙁

Kerry COX
Soren, 😉 The break has done wonders for you if that's the case. 🙂 I do like what you have done mate. A LOT. 👍

Soeren R.
Thanks a lot Kerry. Always nice to hear such words ! 🙂

Martien Lourens
Excellent build and paintwork after a break

Soeren R.
No this one was before my break. 🙂 I finished this one over a year ago. Sadly I havent finished one kit in the last couple months
