I've made some progress on the RS models Ki-94-II and stared the AZ Models Ki-78 'Ken'. I'll post some photos of the Ki-78 in a bit.
First of all here is the fuselage closed up, wings and tail surfaces, and some ducts/intakes underneath added. there were some minor seams to fill, but pretty good fit for a low pressure kit. There is some serious clean-up needed to eliminate mold seams, however.
The cockpit coaming area still needs some filling with putty. Since there is no extant aircraft with which to check, I'm assuming the area between the cockpit opening and the forward fuselage would have been smooth. Of course I could be wrong, it's been know to happen....occasionally
.
Then off to the paint shop: First a little pink!
Yes pink - I read somewhere, maybe here, that pink works very well as a primer under orange.
Then some orange, in this case Floquil CN Orange (I used CN (Canadian Northern orange) railroad paint because the hobby shop didn't have just 'Reefer Orange'). I also used the Floquil enamel because I wanted to try spraying enamel over acylic. So far no problems. Floquil enamels (slightly thinned) spray GREAT !!!!!!
Sorry some of the photos aren't really clear - still learning the fine art of close-up photography. But I think you get the general idea! I'll post more soon.
