New subject....Japanese late war fighter Kawasaki Ki-100-I Otsu hasegawa 1/48 This one took second place in Large Scale Aircraft in 2000 at Sa Expo
Flown by Major Yohei Hinoki, Instructors Command Flight of the Akeno Fighter School.
Hinoki was badly wounded in combat in 1943 resulting in his right leg being amputated, because of his invaluable combat experience he was fitted with an artificial leg and became an instructor at the Akeno fighter School where he continued to fly combat missions.
in July 1945 he claimed a P-51 in this Ki-100 over Nagoya.
Starting with the business end!

He said it - hasegawa 1/48.
Beautiful work Wayne but I'm a little surprised 1/48 was considered "large scale" in that contest.

Very nice work again Wayne.
Good effect with the wear on the exposed front edges, always looks good particularly on Jap aircraft. Can I ask if it was done with the 'salt' technique?

Back in 2000 it was considered Large Scale here, 1/32 and larger was still pretty much in it's infancy, not like now!
not the Salt technique, sprayed overall with Tamiya Aluminium (XF-16) then a Tamiya Dark green mix sprayed over the upper surfaces, then I used masking tape to carefully "pull" off selected bits of the green from the Aluminium, carefully I say as you can quite easily pull up too much paint in an abnormal pattern that just looks wrong....
...and Thanks Guys!

Thanks for clarifying the method of paint wear, that's an interesting technique and has created an incredibly realistic effect.
As you say, there is a certain pattern to the amount of green paint flaked off, and the pattern of the flaking is partly but not all random; there is some logic to the amount of exposure on leading edges, and some panels showing more wear than others and more towards the edges of certain panels. You seem to have got it all spot on in my opinion. Nice work.
