Kurogane progress
I'm using Molotow liquid chrome for the reflectors in the lights.
The clear part glued to the light.
I punched out some aluminium foil to mask the clear parts of the lights.
Some sanding to clear the floor from some marks that woult be seen after assembly.
All of the car parts before painting. I've chosen to go for the version with the roof up.
The figures ar nicely detailed in the kit.
I used liquid masking to mask the clear part of the rear light
The little car is finished! 🙂
Detail painting of the figures are finished.
The final result after dry brushing and washes.
The little kit is finished! 🙂

Björn SvedbergI've started this mini-project building the Kurogane out of the box including the figures. First update shows the assembly before painting.

Björn SvedbergThanks mates! 🙂
@Rich, I did all the panel lining/streaking etc with Tamiyas panel liners (black/brown/dark brown).

Rich K.Thanks for the info! I just love the way you finished this kit! Perfection, in my opinion. I'm always scared to try what you did.

Björn SvedbergThank you Rich, Hans and Rui! 🙂
A last update. The figures are finished so I will close this little project. A really nice kit and it was a lot of fun to build and paint.

bughunterDo you know the egg-planes? It looks like the first egg-car 😉 And both were invented in Japan! 👍

Robert PodkońskiPerhaps it was inspired by Walt Disney's cartoons (and here is the "proof" 😉 : perthmilitarymodelli..tamiya/tam32558.html)
