Pauls Hasegawa 1/48 Kawanishi N1K1- Ja Shiden Steve erm sorry George

Post by Paul »

Nice little kit of a subject i wouldn't usually build. Painted using the AK IJN paint colourds (which performed perfectly) and weathered using an AK panel line wash. I use pastel pigments to weather the panels and age the plane. I didn't want a highly chipped aircraft so just did some light chipping using a silver prismatic pencil.
