Good Morning, Dave Very unusual paint scheme, and the weathering adds a lot to the gloss finish. Remarkably done, even more so when I think about the scale. Catch Ya, Logan (This is not like the gold/white blue/black dress finishes that everyone is talking about on the internet?? The plane is really gold/white/red/black???)

This is an extremely interesting scheme. I know next to nothing about Japanese aircraft colors but found this interesting article: j-aircraft.com/resea..old_claude_i_saw.htm In any case, great job!

Thanks for the comments guys. John E ...great article! Logan, the pictures make the plane look more golden than it actually is. I was going for a translucent tan colour with a touch of gold as the instructions call for. I used an even mix of Tamiya clear, clear orange, clear yellow and smoke. I hope to have it at Wednesday's meeting for the out of box theme, it will be in the mall show as well. See you.
