    • 1/48 Hasegawa Kawanishi N1K2-J Shidenkai(George)

      I started this with a dry fit seems to be up to the usual good Has fitThis is going to be a gear up build and the doors are close but do require some trimming of the inboard doors(marked in red)also required sanding away the interior details to get them to lay flushThe interior color is MM RAF green with an overspray of Tamiya transparent blue acrylic

        Thanks Fellas really appreciate the compliments,c'mon Ian get the ole salt shaker out and have a go!
        I got the prop blurs in the post ,they are pretty easy to work with. I lopped off the props with the razor saw and then notched the hubs to accept the blurs. Then a little ca glue and some paint and its ready to mount up

        That's another absolutely top job Trey,very well done. I love the outdoor shots,no danger of the sky falling on it .

        Not a criticism but I'm not sure whether I'm convinced by the prop blurs or not. I think its a matter of opinion,some love'em,others are a bit more equivocal.

        Cheers

        Beautiful 5 star build Trey.

        The salt technique is done really well.

        Steve's right about the prop blur, I'm not sure too.

        Thought though, is it because they are painted in a lighter shade, that they don't have the impact of others I've seen. I know this is the right colour for this type, but....

        Keep inspiring us.

        Brilliant. I love the very well worn out finish. Pics in the sun are very good as well. ***** from me.
