Impressive work, Keith @greenterrorz
That's a lot of bending you have done.

Wow, Keith @greenterrorz, this is a really big project. All of that PE makes my head hurt. Looking forward to seeing this come together.

Awesome progress and ditto looks continued, my friend @greenterrorz!

The Hull is officially painted.

I decided to do black pre-shading followed by randomized mottles of yellow, red, and hull red. For my top coat, I did 50-50 Tamiya Red and Tamiya Hull Red. The reason I chose to mix the Red/Hull Red for the topcoat is because the regular red was too bright, and the hull red was too dark in my opinion.

This will need to cure for a few days before I can mask it up and do the upper section.

Very nice paintwork indeed, Keith @greenterrorz

@johnb @fiveten @gblair

Thank you all.

Yeah I’m finding it better to do small sections at a time to completion versus following the instructions from Tamiya.

Thanks @clipper. I had seen the idea originally on YouTube where someone used orange as a base under red. The more variation in coloration, the more depth you can achieve.

Last night I was able to get some more work done on the Mogami:

Cheers!

Looks fantastic, my friend @greenterrorz!
