Well here is my first effort entry for Andy's Japanese Aircraft GB Thank you for creating it. Also thanks to all those that looked in on the build and or commented. Much appreciated.
About the kit. One of Hasegawa's older jobs that gets put out at regular intervals. I was thinking for a while it would be fun to build one and display next to my Yamato, when I get round to build it that is. The GB came up, the kit appeared in the shops again. No contest. lol
Not a bad kit at all BUT it would be nice if Hasegawa included plastic versions in the kit for the PE replacements which are now as rare as chickens teeth! Detail is OK even if the cockpit is basic. Not that you can see much in there once buttoned up.
Paints where AK real colour: purchased for two reasons. first they had the colours I needed in stock, (My first choice Vallejo was out of stock). They are OK I guess. Once you get used to how they work/mix/thin.
"ENOUGH ALREADY!". I hear from all corners of the interweb, "Show us the darn model"
I must confess I like the green. I have a car much the same colour once but metallic. Lol That was a Mitsubishi as well.
Want to do when the yellow wing edge decals break up? make it a feature.
Andy, you said it looked big.... LOL it is the smallest of them all. Here parked up next to the shagbat! And it was here I realised that I have forgotten the antennae wires.
I'll post a pic or two when they are added.
Comments most welcome.
