You did an excellent job with the overall NMF and the camo. Congrats! Some inaccuracies, though. By the time Kobayashi flew the Hien with the blue fuselage line, he had more victories painted in white on the cockpit side and the wing cannons were removed. It would have been better to paint the fuselage stripe in red, to depict an earlier aircraft of the pilot with the fewer black victories and the wing cannons. Also, the yellow IFF stripes on the wing were more parallel to the leading edge than tapered as you depict them. I would also have liked to see an aircraft that has seen combat with more exhaust stains and dirt. Other than that, really great overall job.

Excellent work, one of the best, and most accurate, builds of this popular kit that I've seen! You avoided the common mistakes of red fuselage stripes and leading edges and yellow droptanks and got pretty much all the colours correct (the B-29 kill markings were blue, not black). You also correctly sprayed the camouflage after applying the stripes. You even caught the triple aerial and spline light, both unique to the 244th Sentai. There are two details you missed, as did just about anyone else who built this kit: this aircraft (c/n 4424) had been camouflaged previously in 1944 and during the winter of '44/'45 this camouflage was stripped. With the stripping all the top surface stencils were lost and not repainted. This aircraft should therefore have (almost) no stencils or only vague traces of them. On the other hand, since the ailerons were fabric-covered, these weren't stripped and retained their 1944 camouflage during the rest of their existence. In March 1945 the airframe was re-camouflaged, pretty much as you have it (great job!), with the ailerons looking extra dark from their previous camouflage coat. I'm very much enjoying your builds. Highly inspiring and educational. Great stuff, keep up the good work!

Amazing, as usual. Two quick questions. How far did you thin the camo paint down? I have trouble attaining a balance when painting onto metal colors. My second question is in relation to the wash. Whenever I apply a wash of any kind without a clear coat, any non-metal paint absorbs some of it. What magic are you doing to prevent the green paint from getting stained when you did you wash? Thanks!
@lpjmodels3 жыл бұрын
Thanks mate sorry for the slow reply. My thinning is 70 thinner 30 paint, 10 ish psi very close. I think thinning with Mr levelling thinner helps with the staining as it smooths the paint slightly giving the wash less to grip to, and over an ultra smooth metal finish this helps even more.
