Return to Index   Fine Molds 1/48th D4Y3 Judy March 9 2011 at 4:35 PM   (Login ChipJean) HyperScale Forums from IP address 98.166.117.15 Mostly a good kit; no serious pain involved in the build but not a "shake n' paint" model either. Wing roots took more work than usual, masking the greenhouse with Tamiya tape was tedious (who needs pre-cut masks?), and the decals were tough to work with. Pre-shaded with black, painted with MM enamels using varying lightened shades of the base colors, oil wash in the panel lines, paint chips done with a silver pencil and further weathering done with pastel chalk and Tamiya weathering stuff. I didn't go too heavy on the weathering figuring every super-chipped and weathered Japanese aircraft you see had to pass through a stage like this first.

To post an image of your models, you will first need to find somewhere to host your photos on the Internet. Your ISP will often give you a limited amount of free web storage, and other online photo storage is also available.

To post a link or an image, simply type in the URL (web address) of the destination page or image. The URL will appear as a link (for an HTML link) or an image (if you link direct to a .jpg file) when posted. You can use the Preview facility to see how your message looks before posting to Plastic Pix.

Please try to keep image sizes to 800 pixels wide or less, as larger sizes will be too big to fit on many computer screens. Also, file sizes should be kept to around 100kb or less, otherwise download may be very slow.
