Re: Daz's Navy Type 0
if you've got any light grey in your stash, just add that to the green and the color will look closer to the prototype.
Re: Daz's Navy Type 0
I wish I'd thought of that - it's been painted now!
Oh well!
Oh well!

Zero progress....
I don't think it looks too bad in its slightly inaccurate paint scheme....

Just call it a post-war restoration job and challenge anyone to tell you otherwise

Re: Daz's Navy Type 0
Aye looks good. One of those cheapo "silver gel pens" might be of interest as late war IJN paint was of poor quality and didn't adhere too well. A bit of careful application on the wing leading edges and around the cowl will represent paint chipping / peeling quite nicely in 1/72 scale remember less is more.
Look forward to seeing some more progress

I'll hopefully get a good bit of work done today.

Re: Daz's Navy Type 0
I added the canopy and the aerial mast to it after the photo was taken, so it's nearly done.

Re: Daz's Navy Type 0
Looking good, is the Spit pilot behind about to give him the Top Gun bird?

The prop is now on, so it's just decals and final details now!

Re: Daz's Navy Type 0
DONE!
A nice little kit - nothing difficult about building it, although I would have preferred to use a more accurate paint for the colour scheme. Mind you, I reckon it looks fine, and that's the main thing!

Cheers, Martin.
I'll get round to a spot of weathering at a later date, I think.
