Thought I’d make a Japanese aircraft. As they looked towards the end. Used hairspray and salt. It’s my first hard-weathered airplane and the first attempt at using salt. Hope you enjoy it! I surely enjoyed making it.

Nicely done! Chipping looks good, lovely natural metal finish on the underside. What paint did you use? __________________ Daniel

Thank you my friend in modeling. The paint i´ve used is Vallejos acrylic metal color. First a coat of their gloss, black primer and then a layer of aluminium. The postshading is made with their dark aluminium and the highlihgts in the center of the panels are white aluminium.

I often use those paints myself but only tried them on smaller areas good to know that you can achieve such nice result even on bigger surfaces! __________________ Daniel

Are the Insignia decals or painted on? They blend with the weathering perfectly.

Thank you!! I decided to skip the decals for the roundels and the yellow stripes on the front of the wings and paint them instead.

That's a really nice job! I've just returned to modelling after about 30-odd years, and have started acquiring kits ready to go. One I found on eBay was an old Bandai 1/24 Shinden. No idea what the build will be like on such an old model, but it was an impulse purchase, I just had to get it before someone else did! __________________

Thank´s for your comments and wellcome back! The Shiden was a real fun aircraft to build and i bet you´ll enjoy yours. One nice thing is that you can realy weather up a Japanese aircraft since they just slapped on the paint onto the bare aluminium and it chipped like there was no tomorrow. Looking forward to some pictures.
