Thanks guys. Camo done, some touch-ups to due to me being in a rush and not rechecking the tape. Paint used, Tamiya XF-12, J.N. Grey/XF-11, J.N. Green and for the NMF, I used Vallejo Metal Color 77.716, Semi Matt Aluminum. Right or wrong, I like it
I'll see if I can get a decent pic Andy. I just went down and checked this aircraft and other aircraft from various GBs, Ki-44, B6N2 and two CF-104s and the Semi Matt Aluminum looks a bit grainier than the Vallejo White Aluminum and Chrome

One side decalled up with Tamiya's bullet proof product. I even tried Solvaset on these....nada. Plain old hot water and cloth did the trick, just barely. The sharp eye will notice that I cut back the NMF on the right wing. The more I looked at it the more I realized it was wrong. I found a set of plans and sho nuff, Tamiya missed a panel line.
I hope to have the decals finished and standing before I head back to camp tomorrow.
OK How is it that Tamiya, the model making GOD, missed a panel line on a Japanese aircraft? I give up I shall never ever believe anything ever again!!!!!!!!!!!
