I've done some more work: painted-on the Hinomaru on both wings and fuselage: not too bad as final result and color seems OK, but ...
but while I was ready to take a few pictures, I found that on upper left wing the "sun disk" was slightly off-side compared with right wing and palns, sh..t. :shock: :shock:
So, no pictures and I had to clean about half of that wing :oops:
Today I will repaint the basic color and tomorrow, hopefully, the Hinomaru.

For the Hinomaru color I used Gunze Red Madder (H86) added with some Gunze Red Brown (H47).
Not yet decided if I will paint red walk lines and blue lines on fuselage and fin or use decals.
In any case I need to hope in a nice day in order to be able to stay outside and spray a couple of coats of future.
Thanks for looking.
Cheers

One more little step: added blue strips:

Now I really need to hope in a not too cold day, in order to be able to stay outside and spray-on a couple of coats of Future, without this I cannot start with decals.
