                        Hello!

                        I´m working on the hasegawa model of this beautifull machine.

                        Here are some pics:

                         cockpit with some home-made detail:

                         

                         

                         

                         

                         

                         

                        Engine:

                         

                         

                        First stage of painting:

                         

                         

                         

                         

                         

                         

                         

                         

                        Hope you like it!

                         

                        My best regards!

                        I've never, ever seen a model of that one. FANTASTIC job so far!

                        Excellent work so far.  Should be a jaw dropper.

                        I think that is a vast understatement. She looks incredible so far! The fine detail in the cockpit area is incredibly immaculate! I'm looking forward to seeing more!Cool [8D]

                        This is shaping up to be an excellent build!  Love the patchy worn paint, very effective.  Also, how did you mask the inside areas of the canopy?  It looks like tape, but I am not sure how to get it stick to the edges and come down to mask the area inside.  Would you mind terribly sharing your technique?

                        Jose, that's just beautiful! What's your technique for making the throttles ? Wiring and drop of superglue for the knobs?

                        That's really looking good. I can't wait to see that when it's finished.

                        I told you all that that everyone was building Japanese planes. I wasnt wrong was I? What a beauty this one is as well. There hasnt been a duff build in all the offerings.

                        Your pit work is fantastic. Did you scratch everything or did you use any AM stuff? Im off now to check out what this beaut looks like as im in the camp thats never seen one.

                        it´s simply Tamiya tape 18mm Wide, and a toothpick, to make it settle were i want it.

                        The rest of the canopy was masked using Scotch tape, because it was easier to check the canopy frames.

                         

                        Guy, the work on the cockpit is scratch.

                        An excellent representation of a seldom modeled aircraft!  I can appreciate the subtle yet very effective weathing you have.  Well done! Big Smile [:D]

                        Excellent.  The weathering and the masking are first rate.  Great job

                         I really like the weathering. Not overdone, like is often seen.

                          What techniques did you use?
