Very ๐๐ nice.
The Rising sun decals look painted on and looks good. Nice job, lm yet to build a WW2 Japanese fighter.

Thank you Bernhard. Yes it is, I will upload some more pictures for the process.

Hi Mr D. Haha they are painted on. I tried to use as less decals as possible except somethings like the Japanese "No Step" which is too complicated for me XD. The Antenna is 0.05 mm copper wire.

I finished exactly the same one few weeks ago. What color is on fuselage?
28 September 2024, 06:57

Hi Marcin. It was Mr. Hobby's Kawasaki Green for base. For highlight I added some yellow and white. For shadow I added Japanese propeller or any brown in red tone will work.

Great result and attention to detail. Riveting job, chipping and paintjob, all top-notch 👍

Hi Mr D, did you mean the power tool? I used it to sand along rivet lines to create a stressed skin effect.

Hi Weizenbrot.
Yes, l thought that was what was happening? But wanted to confirm..... good idea...more realistic as aluminium wraps to the structure.... especially on the Japanese craft.
Thanks......" Always good to learn"๐๐๐

Thank you Mr D! I truly agree with you that the the effect is suitable for Japanese aircrafts. I was thinking of giving the observers a feeling of the thin skin is really attached on spars and ribs.

Great Ki-100! Mine is on hold because I was never able to find a plan where the rivetting is visible for this specific aircraft. Looks like you found one. Can you give me a hint?

Hey Thomas, sure! I got the rivet map scanned. It was in 48 scale so is perfect for this kit. I can send it to you if you can leave me your email.
