discussion Tamiya 1/48 Rufe

[Guest]

I needed a float plane for a GB and got this ancient Tamiya Nakajima Rufe, it has nice internal detail, the surface detail however is very spartan.
I decided to rescribe the pannel detail and add rivets.
Then a light preshading followed

Nice work re-scribing. it's something I often try, but then immediately regret !

Ta, no secret, I just use a tamya scriber with dymo tape as a ruler and trumpeter rivet tool.

The decals were typical thick tamiya and dont seat into detail well, no matter how much microsol went on.
