Lawdog, Damian, Jay Jay, TJ, Toshi, Don and BK thank you very much.

Lawdog, the base is Alclad White Aluminum with AK Interactive Worn Effects acrylic chipping fluid applied over it. I then applied IJN Green acrylic over the areas where the chipping was less serve and used a wetted brush to chip those areas.

Building a kit from your stash is like cutting a head off a Hydra, two more take it's place.

Very well done. How did you achieve the peeled paint? It's very convincing.

1/72 Hasegawa Kate

Posted by modelcrazy on Saturday, June 10, 2017 12:03 AM

I completed the Hasegawa 1/72 B6N2 Kate AI-301 from the Akagi with a 6 bomb load out. Not a bad little kit for an older mold. There was some flash that needed to be removed and I used the bombs and tail gun from the Airfix Kate. The base is the 1/72 Japanese Carrier base form Coastal kits.
