Kawasaki KI-32 Mary Amodel 1/72
Posted by bsyamato on Tuesday, April 24, 2012 12:14 PM

Finished my third plane for the Gamera's Japanese GB

Lots of fun 'n'  difficulties  to manage this short-run kit; scratchbuilded cockpit and flaps, cutted horizontal rudders, heatformed canopy using the really thick monopiece original one Big Smile and other things needed

As ever painted with brushes , used humbrol and model master enamels.

I finished the kit with an alternative plane out of the decals sheet options, so the white hinomaru bases was painted as the tail insigna.

Enjoy the Mary Toast


And here the complete gallery Mary gallery

Outstanding work, really!

Now that is an exceptional build, especially given the scale. The added work really goes a long way, and, for my next Japanese aircraft build, I'm gonna have to borrow that paint-chipping technique - it looks flippin' amazing! Do tell how ya did that!

Another very impressive aircraft with your talent of using only a brush!

Ruddratt it's just post painting after the matt coat with a fine brush 10/0 with humbrol silver trying to follow panels.

The bad thing is that the silver is really old and in some part is too tick. Others try with a silver pencil with good results too Smile need to try me too

Thanx PZL Toast

Greetings bsyamato (hope spelling correct).

Really great result on the Mary. I use brushes most of the time. One suggestion if I may - try using INVISIBLE THREAD for you antenna wire. It is available from Quilting stores which are big in Japan. My wife is a quilter and is in contact with quilters worldwide.

Looking forward to your next effort.

Well at least Bsyamato still posts on the forum or so I think. Haven't seen him since the first of the year, but he's not someone who left ten years ago.
