    1/48 Tamiya N1K1 Kyofu/Shiden

    in On the Bench

    Kawanishi Bro's

    The Pits

    The Build

    Post black basing, Alclad Metalizer/Pre-shading

    Initial Top coat, some basic chipping started

    Ammo by Mig scratches fluid utilized on both birds for their chipping. It is very controllable.

    I liked working the chipping and thought it looks good.

    Dekels

    Sealed and Base washed

    Shiden sealed and initial wash

    One minor set back is the back-ordered Canopy from Tamiya, 4weeks.

    Still some minor finishing touches on Kyofu left but i have till the contest.

    These were the first WW2 Japanese anything I have ever built. I enjoyed the build. The kits assemble well, they were 1/48 scale and I got a vacation from RLM colors.

    I will post-up the final pictures upon completion of these 2 kits.

    The Kawanishi Brothers are done and in the display case. Kyofu and Shiden are going to be my 'Made In Japan" entries. Enjoyed the build, the kits and the subjects.
