wondering about the code - perhaps "Johan Aotake" 🙂
Great progress here Stellan!

Stellan, I was thinking along the lines of an individual call-sign / aircraft letter for this individual, like "Kalle Gul" - or perhaps it was the other way around? (Gul Kalle) And the Aotake would be a new color for individual letters along that line (Gul, Blå etc.)

I'm not sure what number it would have had (like JA 37), J 12 sounds like it could be right,

Oh isn´t that a pretty sight, what!? Ailerons, some fiddly little details and flaps on tonight. Only bits yet to go on are clear canopy parts and undercarriage. So I have a quick session of snipping a few bits and using Tamiya´s included masks in yellow tape next few days. This bird should be ready for some colour by coming weekend.

This is really coming along nicely ! This fit of the parts on this kit look to be outstanding too. Well done my friend.

Gorgeous looking plane it is, Stellan.
Good luck painting it this weekend, for sure it will be beautiful.

Looking great, Stellan (@stellan). I think it is great to figure out a hypothetical scheme for model. I think it is a lot of fun to figure out a back-story for the model, and then determine a paint scheme based on the story. I have my most fun sometimes building something hypothetical.

This is a great looking build so far! Looks like everything just falls into place.

Hmmm, oh how times flies when you don´t have to model.

Anyway,did some cleaning up the other day and today I let the airbrush roar. On top of Tamiya´s fine grey primer I did some pre shading with Tamiya NATO black along all panel lines. On top of this I sprayed a mottled coat of Tamiyas XF-12, J.N. Grey. Soon time for XF-11 J.N. Green on all top sides.
