Wow, that is superb work. Paint chipping really stands out, but what truly amazes me is your airbrush work with the green splotching. And I agree, the Tony looks fast sitting still.

Pablo,

Really well done on a cool looking japanese aircraft. I've always liked the Tony, it looks fast just sitting still. The paint chipping looks incredible. Bravo!

Hi folks,

I started this new kit since a month. I only added some details on the cockpit sidewalls and rudder belts. The only aftermarket addition is the prepainted PE seat belts from Eduard.

I added some handles in the windshield made form stretched sprue.

I made rivet marks with an old wach gear and started to paint. I primed with Tamiya's gloss black for later spray with aluminum, dural and dark aluminum from Alclad laquers.

I masked and painted the markings with Vallejo acrylics, they seemed to me a bit bright, specially the red, somewhat fluo red. Later I spayed freehand the camouflage spots with Tamiya's IJA green acrylic.

At least, a minutes ago I finished this beautiful model.

I hope you like it.

Regards,

Pablo
