The kit is an
Hasegawa #JT70 with the addition of the Eduard set #49217 for cockpit,
flaps, seat belts and some engine details. I add also the Squadron canopy
for display in open position.
The chipped paint effect was archived by priming the model with Gunze
Mr. surfacer 1000 followed by a coat of Gunze acrylic H8 silver and
painting the model with H36 Dark Green. Once these are dried, carefully
scraping with tape or #11 blade the top coat to reveal the aluminum below.
Gunze H61 IJN gray for the undersurfaces and H63 Metallic Blue green for
the interiors of flaps and wheel-wells. All control surfaces were masked
for avoid any chipping as are fabric covered. The pitot was made with two
Micromeca tube.
