1/72 Tamiya N1K1-Ja Kawanishi Shiden

March 8, 2017 · in Aviation · · 7 · 2.4K

Just finished this one up today. It is painted with acrylics and weathered a bit with silver pencil, oils and pastels. It is pretty much OOB. I drilled out the gun barrels and added an antenna wire from Uschi super fine rigging thread. The aircraft depicted is from the Yokosuka Naval Air Group.

  1. Good looking model Geoffrey.

  2. Yes...good work - (in that scale especially).

  3. Very nice - solid clean build with some subtle weathering.

  4. I didn't realize this was a 1/72 scale plane until I saw the last picture with the plane inverted sitting on paint jars !

    Very nice... I like it.

  5. Great job. Ditto on the scale, thought it was larger.

  6. Nice job Geoffrey, especially in that scale.
