discussion Latest Progress -> N1K2-J George Japanese Fighter WW2

[Guest]

Hi

This is my latest Model - see the photos

as it progresses and moves along

This is the

Hasegawa N1K2-J George

1/48 Japanese WW2 Fighter Model

it uses Eduard Photoetch and Montex Masks for use

instead of the Kit Supplied Decals



try clicking on the picture

slideshow emerges

The Model uses Vector Resin engine , Fukuya Brass Aftermarket

20mm Barrels and Hollow Pitot tube ( not fitted yet )

The AeroDetail Book on the George Fighter was used to supply extra detail on the cockpit and other parts of the aircraft .

The reason for using the Montex Masks are that I will be able to weather over them , which you can't easily do with a fragile decal .

Another added bonus is that the Kit Supplied Decal for the Recognition

Stripes over the Tail is wrong , it should be White - not Red .

The Book 343 Kokutai -Genda's Blade by Henry Sakaida

also proves this fact - this is the aircraft at the top of the 4 examples

from the after market decal set in my pictures

I will keep this on longer than usual ,

as I am using my spare Photobucket account

The usual one is used for ebay selling

hopefully if you click on my slideshow you will see everything

regards

David

[Guest]

are people able to see the photobucket pictures okay on the slideshow ?

 

[Guest]

Yes, once I'd figured out to "try clicking on the picture" was the way to get there!

Very nice work.

Thank you very much

I tried to get the slideshow to emerge -

but this is all it reveals until clicked .............

I will use the old-fashioned display method from now on

This is looking really ace.! Enjoyed the slideshow emensely. The detail on the resin engine is fantastic.

The effect I want to end up with is roughly like this

but less weathered , but still showing the paint flaked off

but to a lesser degree ............

The Vector resin Engine is the second that has been used for my models .

It was successfully installed in the Ki-100

that Model Kit was originally fitted with a single piece casting by Hasegawa - the detail enhancement is superlative .

You can find them for sale by Parade Figures Model Shop ( try googling Vector Resin Engine ) - they also make them in 1/72 scale ..........

anyway the link if you require

Vector Scale Resin Model Engines

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

The difference is plain to see -

I won't drop my flaps , as the wartime aircraft never had them like that in original photos on airfields.........

I will show off the completed model soon
