Gekko "Irving"

[ajcmac]

My next model. Another Tamiya, another JAP.
Tamiya's Gekko built O.O.B. only with belts of Eduard.

I started this build around 2 months ago on another forum, so todays update will show a large amount of progress.

First I paint the interior with gray (XF-66) and dry brush with XF-16. Next, X-13(3) + X-25(1). All Tamiya paints.

The ejector-pin marks are not visible when i put the side and lower instrument and when panel cannon bay cover is closed.

Finally, a Japanese night fighter. I have another version of this same model from Tamiya. I will definately follow this post. Good start. Do you have any background photos for this plane? I have a few if you like.

Wow, you are just flying through this model.

 

[ajcmac]

Yes, it helps. I want to do the Irving "late version". Thank you.

I think the late version is the only one with radar. The one at the Smithsonian is the last aircraft in existance.

Like i said, i started this build around 2 months ago on another forum, so more update.
