TAMIYA 1:48 Kawanishi N1K1-Ja Shiden Type11 (George)

[fubar57]

I'm ahead of the game with GBs so I thought I would do something I can't recall doing before....start and finish a model in a month. I spent the morning going through the stash and found this...

​

Low parts count and good fit....

​

I've already started on the engine and its just about finished. Wings are just about done as well. Photos in a bit. I still haven't decided on a particular aircraft yet

What's that? Echo?

Engine done though I notice in the photo touch-ups needed. Cylinders done with Citadel Ironbreaker, washed with Citadel Black Ink. Housing done with Tamiya XF-19 Sky Grey. Rods painted Tamiya X-18 Semi-gloss Black. Ring and heads done with Tamiya XF-16 Flat Aluminum

​

Innards painted with Tamiya XF-58 Olive Green lightened with XF-4 Yellow Green. They've since been gloss coated with Liquitex

​

Wings

​

Detailing and weathering shortly

Nice work, and quick too.

I think I have that one in the stash too. I'll be watching to see how well it goes together

Nice work so far George!

 

[fubar57]

Thanks all. Innards are done. I found a set of Eduard pre-painted seat belts so I broke down and added them. The cockpit is added from below after the fuselage has been joined together

​

....and then he went running downstairs after he noticed the gun sight was slightly cock-eyed.........................................

Don't you just hate that when you see something like that in the pictures after you just posted them.

 

[Crimea_River]

Especially after the glue dried.

 

[fubar57]

Double especially after CA was used to attach it but disaster was averted. Avoided bloodshed opening up gun barrels this morning....

​

Some minor bondage but not really necessary.
