1/48 Tamiya Nakajima Gekko Type 11 - 202nd Naval FG, Manggar base, Balikpapan Borneo Island, 1944.
OOB build, goes together well, unfortunately it suffers from heaps of injector pin marks where you don't want them to be, I didn't fill them, it would take to long.
Camo paint is pictured (Green and Blue/Black), other paints used, Gunze, Tamiya, Vallejo metal colour. I painted the Hinomaru on, looks so much better than Tamiya thick decals. Flory dark dirt wash, and Vallejo matte varnish for final coat.
On a side note, I have been using Mr.Hobby Mr.Cement S lately, and I have found it quicker than Tamiya extra thin quick drying, and have been using Tamiya putty, yes, it is messy, I apply with a toothpick, it sets nice and hard, and I have only been filling seams once with this, where is other types can take a couple of goes in areas.
