Howdy,
Cheap old kit I bought to get the mojo flowing. Started this dude about 5 weeks ago; but, I was away for work and didn't get to do much with it. It's a fairly simple kit overall and goes together pretty well. I'm sure there is a ton of aftermarket out there for this kit; but, I didn't try any.
I used Ultimate Black matte primer, X-18 semi-gloss for cowl and XF-76 IJN Gray Green overall. It looks alright. I haven't decided on weathering yet. It seems most people beat the heck out of these Japanese planes, so I may leave it rather clean just to be different.
