Beautiful. I've never noticed how large the rudder hinges were before

 

[Wayne Little]

Thanks Guys.

They are George, imagine if I had put them in place and then tried to apply the decal....! smarter than that...

Anyway some more progress,

Glossed top and bottom now, dirtied up the port side wing area a little bit where Pilot and ground crew walked, added the remaining few small decals around the place, painted, decalled and added a small amount of weathering/wear to the prop assemblies too.
This is a late production Ki-45 which was factory painted so it would not exhibit much weathering or paint chipping at all to the overall airframe...

So cool, had to find something besides "very nice"! My normal expression would have to be censored as this is a family friendly forum.

Great work so far Wayne!

 

[Wayne Little]

Thanks for dropping in Guys....

figuring a bit of a dusty airfield Have added some pastel "dirt" in the panel lines which should tone done some when I give it another gloss coat...but not before doing the lower surfaces...

 

[Donivanp]

Man Wayne, that looks the part.

 

[Wayne Little]

You always come thru......

Thanks Guys, I gave her a light misting gloss spray today to seal in the pastel wash giving it a semi gloss satin type sheen and it seems to have worked, normally a proper gloss coat would simply dissolve it and disappear....will give it another misting tomorrow to be sure I've got it right before a flat coat on Friday.

Now I have plenty on my plate now for the weekend so won't get much modelling time to finish Sunday, so will need a few extra days on the final few bits and finish to get done, Tuesday or Wednesday.....if that works?

 

[Donivanp]

I'd approve that, but hey, I'm a nobody. But my vote is in as yeah. Love your work.

I think our arms can be twisted Wayne. I'll wait for input from others before updating the GB deadline thread.

 

[Wayne Little]

Thanks Guys.

After 2 light gloss coats and 2 Flat coats....current state of play.....not far from being done.
