Nice work! As Joe/Lawdog said you can add a little sludge wash/Flory to pick out the panel lines but that's a sharp, clean build as she is. Yes

BTW: Nice looking Ki-84 by your computer in the earlier photos too!

Hello, thank you all for your nice comments, it really makes me happy and confident about this build.

Very well done. Nice engine rigging. You could try a wash in the panel lines, something as simple as ground chalk pastels mixed with water and dish washing detergent. Slop it in the panel lines and wipe it off with a tissue. I use something called a Flory wash which is similar.

Looking great so far! Chipping looks fine, you used logic and common sense to apply it where it would occur instead of just randoming applying it like some of the not so good applications.

That chipping looks great. I wouldn't go any further with that because that looks like a decent amount. It shows the wear, but not worn out. You've got it.

Overall, this is a beautiful build so far. Keep us updated!  :)

Ive started this kit some weeks ago, its  almost finished now but ill try to cover all the building process that ive took pics of.

Cockpit done:

Fuselage joined:

Made some scartch build with he cables on the motor with a 0.5mm pinvise and 0.5mm wire:


Heres how it looks:

Ready for painting!

Tamiya chrome silver coat applied:

Scheme colors painted:

Some panel tone variation, a gloss cote and ready for decaling

Decals all in place!

Some chipping done. Please leave some comments about this, its my first time apllying chiping to a model kit and i did it with a sponge dabbed with very little slver plaint, the problem is that im not sure if ive overdone it or if its excessive.

Sorry for the ugly photos showing my mess in the desk and my hand holding the model, ill try to improve the next one.

Thats all for today, ill need some advice in how to continue with the weathering sine i dont know how to weather a NMF bird.

Cheers!
