Return to Index   Hasegawa's 1:48 'Shoki' - 70th Sentai, June 1945. W.I.P. June 26 2011 at 10:20 PM Roachie-in-Oz  (Login Roachie-in-Oz) HyperScale Forums from IP address 124.179.169.152 Lt. Makoto Ogawa's mount utilizing a combination of Avi-Print and Aeromaster decals. [IMG][/IMG] As with the majority of my modelling, I enjoy scratchbuilding side by side with photo-etch; In this case, I've dressed up the gunsight with copper and brass wire. Aeromaster's "Empire Of The Rising Sun" Decal set 48-04 describes "aotake" as the interior cockpit colour and I've gone with that. Though I have Ian Baker's "....Colours & Markings...." I could not determine whether interior green used or not. [IMG][/IMG] I still have the nav/formation lights to paint, instal the antennae and paint the fuel-filler points and trailing edge actuators. I love weathering my aircraft appropriately, relying on artists' watercolours, railroad pastels and rubbing back top coats to reveal the base coat(s) - as for the rear of the prop blades.

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.
