Great work, and very well idea. Remember me that dreamed japanese project; the Fugaku.

What´s the overall colour?.

Cheers

Although an Imperial Navy machine, the color is more like that used on Imperial Army aircraft, an olive green, versus the more forest blue-green of the navy.

Thank you all for the comments, it was nice working on this one but now I have to partake in a GB on another forum and do a real world build, so thats my last whif of 2011....

The good news is that after that one, I have two GB`s running side by side and both are whif`s for 2012....

Used Tamiya olive drab 2 for this one Fran and Tamiya Royal light grey for the undersides. I also think the flash from the camera had a helping hand....

The Hasegawa Rita is well worth building - IF you can find it at a reasonable price ie under £20! Mine was going to be a Luftwaffe one operating from the Japanese islands.

Highly commendable work!!!

Oh dear this is another one I'm going to have to build !

Don't I have too many already queued up ? My workload is going through the roof, too much inspiration, not enough time- Have you no pity ??

I feel the same way.
