I built this kit for a "Weathering" excercise. The idea was to show what adverse conditions and high operational tempo could do to an airframe in a short period of time. I wanted to depict White 2 after just a few weeks of life at Fighter One on Guadalcanal.

Nice work
Airframes has a well known aversion/dislike of this particular A/C type, for which he has been teased on occasion that's all.
 
Thanks for the kind words. I intend to do another version showing this aircraft at the end of October 1942. By that time it had its full compliment of kill markings (19) and the upper camo looked more like a blueish grey chalk rather than paint.
