N1K1 George

Hi ... I am back, this time with a WWII Japanese fighter aircraft, the N1K1 George.

This time around, for the chipping effect, i masked the chip areas with Mr Masking Sol. Then multiple shades of greens are airbrushed, from the darker shades to lighter shades. Each panel was airbrushed individually, and when satisfied, a very diluted brown paint was misted on the kit to blend in the colors.

















Cheers and happy modelling.

Great weather job. It's not easy especially comes to aircraft subjects. A lil' nitpick the the decals a bit too clean. Just my 2 cents of worth and hope you don't mind.

Weathering looks great! Were Japanese fighters mostly have minimal decals?

guys,
thanks for comment.

yeppp .... most japanese planes have minimal decal.
According to one of fellow model builder, the japanese "meatball" (the red red round), mostly will be kept visible n clean, due to national pride.

but i do agree with phoon, if it is too clean, doesn't look realistic too. i will rub some pastel on it to make it a bit worn down.

Cheers
