Without wanting to sound like a rivet counter/nit picker, you do not seem familiar with the "minefield" of WW2 Japanese paint and how it applies to Aircraft. Yes the interior of many NAVAL aircraft was a " metallic blue-green" often called "Aotake". It was actually a translucent blue green varnish applied over the bare metal aluminium as a corrosion guard. But this was rarely used as a cockpit colour. J1N was made by Nakajima, so all crew areas would have been in Nakajima cockpit green, with some areas such as sub-floor and sidewalls in Aotake, behind the equipment and racks.. That aside you do have excellent paint skills and the exterior work shines.
Thank you Brett, yes you are right I am not familiar some Japanese aircraft in WW2. I am just following Tamiya instructions for building the model. Thanks again.
That's not exactly true. There is an example of this aircraft at National Air and Space museum where many of the cockpit area wears aotake colour so both Tamiya and the modeler did it right. ids.si.edu/ids/deliveryService?max_w=300&id=airandspace.si.edu/webimages/collections/full/2009-12390.jpg
Hi there, I like what you did with the painting. May I ask, where did you find/research blueprints to follow during the riveting phase? I've been looking unsuccesfully for a detailed blueprint. Thanks!
Not really crazy about your painting technique. It looks more like a poor paint job than authentic weathering. Ditto for the rusty exhausts. Practice before you publish.
Well at the end of the day it is his model and he paints the way he wants. That is what makes this hobby cool because there are a lot of different styles out there. No need to be 100% accurate all the times. Think before sharing your useless opinion.
I bought this kit because of you. Very lovely build
Well done!🤗

You shake tamiya extra thin and bake the main wheels? Literally shake and bake it kit? :) Selamlar!
What colour was the cockpit? What paint did u use?
What happened to him? He’s been gone for 2 years.
... would be more fun to watch if it had not this nerve-wrecking music ... that`s why ... no thumbs up ...
