    Tamiya 1/72 N1J1 Kawanishi Shiden

    Greetings, gentlemen:

    I thought I'd try a Japanese fighter for a change. Modifications include: Razor sawing canopy into three pieces and posing open; all kit-provided cannon barrels drilled out; all shell ejector chutes drilled, cut, and filed; cowl machine gun ports drilled out; oil cooler intake provided with punched out screen material; pre-shading of panel lines with flat black; burnt umber/turpenoid oil wash.

    Hope you enjoy the pictures, taken with my new Canon EOS40. Comments/criticisms welcome!

    Very, very nice. Your weathering is excellent, not overdone at all. Your build work looks great also. Well Done!

    That ain't no Japanese plane why ain't the paint falling off it

    But I'm with the others on the weathering very nice not over done.
