1/48 TAMIYA NIGHTFIGHTER
Posted by Jia on Monday, March 28, 2016 11:28 PM

Hello guys, this is my very first post on finescale, i've been built this black beauty since last year, thanks god finally i finish it!

I've always prefer a night fighter and this is the first time i tried black monotone camouflage, i have preshade it and us oil paint to add the weathering effect. someone may have noticed there's a mistake on the royal airforce emblem, i forgot to add the red dot before i took these pictures, besides, the emblem on the wing were painted instead of using a decal(by the way the tamiya decal in this box are not very good, they do not surrender to my microset and microsol...)

 very nice! The black camo looks right on. I like the prop blade chipping too. The nav light colors are Opposite what you've painted though

I built that kit last fall; very enjoyable.  Your weathering is top notch, in my books.

I build 1/48 scale WW2 fighters.

Have fun.

Thank you ! i have to confess the oppposite side of the nav light has been painted very badly by me, so i chose to hide them and this result in the wrongly installation of the light:)

Nice job. Black is tough to do convincingly and you did it. Ditto on the chipping. I look forward to more of your work.
