The kit is Tamiya's older Hamp, I believe from the 80's. Relatively few parts in the kit. I masked the canopy with masking tape. It was sprayed with Tamiya XF-76 using an Iwata Neo airbrush. The instructions called out this color. It looks like a shade too green when I compare to what most of us think of as the color of IJN planes from Tora Tora Tora. I'll try a different shade on the next one. For $18 it a fun kit to practice on. The only filler I needed was in a gap between the trailing edge of the wing to the bottom of the fuselage. The decals are on the thick side, even with microset and sol they're not fully seated.
