Thank you Luc!

Hi Roland, I am very impressed about the result you got out of this old Hasegawa Kit. Unfortunately, you do not see too many 4-Engined japanese Aircraft Models at exhibitions. I hope to see that beauty live one day at an exhibition somewhere in Europe.
Well done!

Hi Roland
Great one.I ask me ,if this weathering on a plane is right?I do some research and find this one..

See how the paint on the wings is nearly gone.
I write this because most planes i have seen are not that weathered like yours.I find its great!I build mostly Tanks and they are often exposed to heavy weathering ,chipping and so on.Its "normal" on those vehicles.
Again,its a very very nice Airplane you did.

Hi Markus , this way of weathering is absolutely right for Japanese Aircraft of WW2. The paint the Japanese aircraft industrie used, was of very poor quality, and if you look at pictures of japanese aircraft, you can see how the paint chipped away in large areas.(Also based on the fact, that most aircraft were not primed before painting) So if you go for IJN Aircraft, you cannot basically do it wrong if you chip away the paint in good quantities. And you cannot compare it to a WW2 Flying Fortress. The paint, american aircraft industry used, was way better?..

I love this kind of chipping, cant be heavy enough!😢

This wasnt meant to offer criticism.I was not sure if Airplanes can be weathered like this.As i said ,on Tanks its normal.

Markus Kutsch The Plastic Bench
Now i know better !Thanks 🙂

Hi Markus, just meant as an explanation😉
Japanese Aircraft sometimes look like flown for ages, even they were in action for just several weeks.
The MARMITE-Way for chipping worn paint on tanks (like I did on my Su-122) is perfect also for chipping the paint off japanese aircraft of WW2

Holger Kranich
Chipping is a way of life, isnt it? Oh wow, i´m a poetrist!😢

Markus Kutsch The Plastic Bench
Marmite?Cool.Something for the in between on the toast (yummi).Are you a Vegetarian?

T.-O. Meyer
LOL, no, but this stuff is perfect for worn paint schemes.
