I want to do the Tamiya version. Nice work especially on the paint must be relatively new to the squadron because the Japanese late in the war started having big time problems with paint adhesion because of no primer. Also that aircraft had big problems idling on the ground in tropical climes boiling off the coolant.
Thanks. I looked to see if I could find any actual photos of this aircraft but came up empty. I wanted to use it as a guide for weathering. What little I could find is I think it was not very old. Also, it operated out of Japan itself, serving as an interceptor of American bombers in late ‘44 and into ‘45. That’s why, other than the some panel accent on the underside, I left it rather fresh looking.
