Yeah, except that when I started on the green I forgot to turn the fan on. The dog started coughing and gagging, that's what alerted me.
 
Slight weathering done with thinned black paint carefully applied and some silver pencil in strategic locations.
As always, I prefer the clean look of a new aircraft. Sometime I will dirty one up just to show that I can. But not today.
One slight variation from the Tamiya instructions, the undersides of the floats are aluminum, as per Japanese instructions for float planes, from Arawasi-wildeagles.blogspot, one of the finest sites for studying Japanese aircraft as I have ever found. These guys are as dedicated as Wotjek and Terry to finding the truth on colors and details, but they are fixed on Japanese aircraft only.
