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.
Update: Still waiting on replacement canopy from Tamiya.
11/2/19: Still waiting
11/23/19: Received Clear Sprue $4.89 part, $5.00 base shipping.
I will get on this next week or so and finish it up.
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.
