Nice project, have a nice time 🙂

Ey sehr gute Wahl! Habe exakt den gleichen gebaut in Manchukuo Farben. Wirst du die positive Gravuren abschleifen und nachgravieren? Ich habe mich nicht getraut. Viel Spaß mit dem Kit.
28 July 2016, 17:52
Miro Herold
Eh sorry, ich habe den in 1/72 gebaut. War verwirrt, gleiche Packung gleiche Decals.

Count me in!

@ Wim Welcome😉

@ Miro
Ja das macht Hasegawa gern, dass die 48er und 72er Kits die gleiche Aufmachung haben😉
Der Bausatz hat versenkte Gravuren und ist der alte Mania Bausatz.
Bisher hab ich nur gutes über das Modell gehört.
Heute kamen zum Glück auch schon die Eduard PE Gurte und somit gehts nächste Woche richtig los.

Looks good to me.

Burkhard D
Remarkable skill level for someone who has just built a handful of kits so far! 👍👍👍
7 August 2016, 10:20
Soeren R.
Thx a lot Burkhard😉 , but it isnt that hard, with the right tools and also the right guides😉

Now only one wash is missing and maybe some pigments.
Sadöy you wont see it in the end, but who cares 😛

Thomas Bischoff
Nice start!
8 August 2016, 20:05
Soeren R.
Thx Thomas.
Clear Kote is now on and after some drying time, I will applay a dark wash and some pigments - especially on the seat!
9 August 2016, 10:40
Clifford Keesler
Nice!

Soeren R.
Engine and Cockpit done.
The fitting of the cockpit into the body isnt the best, but with a "little bit" pressure and some Tamiya glue it fits after a while 😄
9 August 2016, 18:17
Ekki
Excellent work so far. Looking forward to the end result.
9 August 2016, 19:16
Soeren R.
Thx Ekki

So body is now glued and I need a little bit of filler, but nothing serious 😉
Must admit that I thought it would be more for a kit from the 70s.

Sadly I encountered one problem with the canopy and the painting....
As you can see on this picture [img1]
the gun visor goes throw the canopy.
And as you can see in the instruction the canopy leaves a gap open at this spot
[img2]
I really hope that I can fill it and wont have any color after it in the cockpit, 🙁
 
10 August 2016, 06:04
Soeren R.
I seperated the canopy to show it open, but sadly I wont fit at all.....
Luckily I had a spare part from another kit, but I ve also order vacu canopies from Squadron and Rob Taurus.
11 August 2016, 07:20
Soeren R.
It starts looking like a plane😉
Some filler is needed, but nothing serious - especially when you consider that this one is from the '70s.

Xavier B
Looking good! Love your work in the pit.
12 August 2016, 06:08
Soeren R.
Thanks Xavier.
Yeah, its maybe a little bit overdone, but like I said earlier, for the first time trying it ok😉
12 August 2016, 06:11
Soeren R.
The wing and the body of my Ki 27 (Hasegawa 1/48) are now "married".
Sadly there are some more gaps then I thought, but nothing what I cant handle - I hope! 🙂
First step after that was to put some Vallejo Putty between the gaps.
24 September 2016, 16:02
Clive Tucker
Making good progress, looks great so far 🙂
24 September 2016, 19:36
Soeren R.
Thx Clive😉 I really hoped it wouldn't need that much extra work...
25 September 2016, 05:40
Miro Herold
Looks good so far." Gute Leute muß man haben, gute Leute..."

Robert W Martel
Lookin' Good!
27 September 2016, 01:57
Soeren R.
Thx mates 🙂

I hope that I can make some more progress this week.

Konnichiwa Sören-san, it is going better and better!

Thx Miro😉

Looking very good.

Soeren R.
Thank you Clifford😉

Jay Nakasone
Always wanted to make this one. Nice
20 October 2016, 08:59
Soeren R.
Thanks Jay. Sadly this one is currently a little bit on hold, because Ive currently no time for modelling. 🙁
20 October 2016, 09:00
Clifford Keesler
That stinks.
20 October 2016, 20:40
Jay Nakasone
I feel your pain. When we were young we had the time but no money...now I got the money (and a huge stash) but no time.
20 October 2016, 20:49
Soeren R.
Same here....
20 October 2016, 21:50
arne vd burg
Sounds like a problem most of us have . And the stash is growing bigger and bigger 😛
21 October 2016, 20:39
Soeren R.
It indeed do. Damm you kit producers with all that great new releases😢
21 October 2016, 21:40
Soeren R.
"Filler-Time"..... 🙁
4 February 2017, 18:22
Clifford Keesler
Looking good.
8 February 2017, 00:27
Soeren R.
After a long time of absence I had to force me back to this project and started again with filling some of the remaining gaps.
16 April 2017, 22:58
Soeren R.
After month of ignoring, I decided to continue the Nate.
The Canopy is now glued (what a piese of s***) and it also needed a lot of filler and sanding afterwards - one of the spots where you notice how old this kit really is......

My next task is now to "paint" the glue lines and find out where I maybe have to use some more filler, but it shouldnt be to much spots.
19 December 2017, 07:22
Miro Herold
Oha, next step onward. Good
20 December 2017, 21:44
Soeren R.
😢 Yeah and hopefully with a not toooo bad outcome then.
21 December 2017, 07:01
Soeren R.
She is no primed in black and the next step is now to fix some small spots.

After that comes my first try of black-basing. 🙂
5 January 2018, 18:56
Clive Tucker
Good to see this back up and running Sören
6 January 2018, 12:04
Stephan Ryll
Looking very nice so far Sören 👍
6 January 2018, 12:15
Soeren R.
Thank you Clive and Stephan. 🙂

@Clive
Me too.
The kit was to long on the shelf of shame....
6 January 2018, 13:07
Soeren R.
First try of using the black basing technique.
Not sure if its good that way, but I think it looks ok for my first try.
What do you think?
7 January 2018, 17:29
Wim van der Luijt
Looks good to my eyes. Off course I have never tried this technique myself, only seen it in action here on scalemates
7 January 2018, 18:32
David Thor
Looking good! Just be careful to thin the base color enough for the final coat. Best to try it on a small piece of plastic. The great thing about this technique is, that the mottling will shine trough the top coat, creating a used/weathered look, you don't see the full effect on pictures and videos, because it changes depending on the light. So better a very thin layer than one that is too thick and destroys the effect. Will you add some other colors for tonal variation?
7 January 2018, 18:41
Soeren R.
Thx David and will do.

No this one is one is just for paint opacity and getting into this technique.
On my upcoming Reaper or Hs 129, I will go for some variation.
7 January 2018, 18:43
David Thor
Make sure to post pictures of the progress! 🙂
7 January 2018, 20:34
Soeren R.
Will do David 🙂
Maybe Im gonna add variations in light grey, darker grey and a redbrown already to this one today.
8 January 2018, 09:39
Soeren R.
Kind of happy with the resuilt, even you can't see that good on the photo, but it looks much more realistic then normal pre-shading (in my opinion).
8 January 2018, 15:28
Stephan Ryll
Looking good Sören 👍
8 January 2018, 19:19
Miro Herold
A good idea with this methode of preshading. Try it myself soon.
8 January 2018, 19:32
David Thor
Looking good. It's really hard to capture the entire effect in pictures. Keep up the good work on the upper side!
8 January 2018, 20:57
Soeren R.
Thx mates😉 The upper side is now finshed too.

@ Miro
You should. The effect looks much better in my eyes and it is easier than you think. 🙂
8 January 2018, 21:11
Soeren R.
The walk way is now also finished and its finally time for the first clear coat to prepare the kit for the decals😉
9 January 2018, 21:42
Soeren R.
The upper Hinomarus and the tailband are now also done.
11 January 2018, 14:24
Christian Bruer
Very nice 👍
11 January 2018, 19:23
Soeren R.
Thx Christian😉
11 January 2018, 19:45
Clive Tucker
Well you seem to be turning this one round ok! I am confused, though, about the hinomaru. Are they decals, or sprayed on? What's with the masking around them? Very effective, whatever you've done!
12 January 2018, 12:36
Tim Heimer
Looking good!
12 January 2018, 12:39
Soeren R.
Thx mates.

@ Clive
They are sprayed and that are masks from Montex.
I used the Hinomaru masks from this set:
scalemates.com/kits/198901-montex-mm48166-ki-46-iii-type-100
12 January 2018, 12:44
Miro Herold
Superb brush work.
12 January 2018, 14:46
Soeren R.
Thank you Miro😉
12 January 2018, 17:09
Soeren R.
The underside is now sprayed to.
Now its time for my "favorite task" - spraying the clear coat.....
13 January 2018, 09:16
David Thor
Das wird echt eine Schönheit!
14 January 2018, 12:51
Soeren R.
Thx 😉
Ich bin noch bissel skeptisch wegen der Kanzel, aber bis dahin dauert es leider noch bisschen.
14 January 2018, 19:55
Soeren R.
The stripes on the top side are now painted too, because the decals were really bad and completely wrong regarding the size
28 January 2018, 09:35
Soeren R.
All stripes are now painted and the next step will be a clear coat to prepare the kit for the weathering😉
28 January 2018, 16:28
Eugen P.
Sehr schön bisher 👍
28 January 2018, 17:38
Hanno Kleinecke
Super Arbeit bei den Streifen, gestochen scharf ! Respekt !
28 January 2018, 17:50
Christian Bruer
Klasse 👍
28 January 2018, 17:59
Soeren R.
Thx Eugen, Hanno & Christian

Zur next step is now to spray clear and paint the remaining small parts
28 January 2018, 18:14
Stephan Ryll
Looking very good Sören 👍
28 January 2018, 18:27
Clifford Keesler
Agree with Stephan, looking very nice indeed.
29 January 2018, 00:49
Soeren R.
Thx a lot Stephan and Clifford
29 January 2018, 08:02

Super geworden!
29 January 2018, 18:12
Miro Herold
Brillant Sören!
31 January 2018, 12:14
Soeren R.
Thx David & Miro.

If I'm able to find some time today, I will put on the second coat of clear to prepare her for the upcoming weathering.
31 January 2018, 14:02
Soeren R.
Washing time😉
4 February 2018, 12:47
Tim Heimer
just don't use spot remover and it'll look good!
4 February 2018, 13:14
Soeren R.
I will try 😛
4 February 2018, 16:43
Clifford Keesler
Looks good.
5 February 2018, 00:28
Spanjaard
looking really nice so far. nice job with those masks
5 February 2018, 06:44
Soeren R.
Thx mates.
Sadly the oderless thinner removed some of the paint but sadly nothing serious and easy to fix - thx black basing.

Today it will be try number 2.
5 February 2018, 07:51
David Thor
Shame, but good job on fixing it. I am using oil washes, because you can just remove the excess with cotton and don't run the risk to remove paint with thinner.
5 February 2018, 12:06
Tim Heimer
Oh crap! you used the spot remover! LOL, Soren. I'm glad it wasn't too bad! I, myself prefer Oil base paint and acrylic washes since the acrylic thinner wont touch the enamel. I'm sure you'll still pull off a good looking plane!
5 February 2018, 12:33
Stephan Ryll
Looking really nice Sören 👍
5 February 2018, 16:38
Soeren R.
Thx mates😉

@ David
My problem probably were the cotton swabs and maybe to much Oderless Thinner.
I will try it now to remove it with a brush. 🙂
5 February 2018, 17:44
Soeren R.
After some small mishaps during the washing (not enough clear coat etc.), is the wash now to 85% finished.
Still have to fix some areas with more wash, but I think the result looks ok so far.
10 February 2018, 09:00
Spanjaard
it certainly does
10 February 2018, 09:40
Soeren R.
Thx mate😉
10 February 2018, 09:42
Gordon Sørensen
Great looking Nate, Sören. The paint looks fantastic!
10 February 2018, 12:13

I agree with Gordon. Excellent.
11 February 2018, 02:09
Soeren R.
Thx a lot Gordon and Clifford😉
11 February 2018, 08:42

Weathering is now done and I can finally apply the last clear coat. 🙂
