This is the ex-Mania kit, very fine kit.  Went up quickly and the resulting model is stunning.  Only low point is the kit's decals, they are crap, just like they usually are in Hase kits...

Ollie,
Whose green and grey do you use?
Brush or airbrush?
And, most important of all, how do you do the yellow leading edges?

Hi Alan!

I used Gunze IJN Green and Grey and for the leading edges, I used Gunze Insignia Yellow.  What I do is that I prime the area first with Tamiya IJN Grey then shoot the yellow, and then I mask before finishing the rest of the paint scheme.

I have an Iwata Eclipse BCS.

Hi Ollie,
Thanks for the info.

I'm a brush painter myself, except for the occasion use of a rattle can.

Wow, another completed project, executed with the usual impressive degree of quality.

Um, I suppose school's out but you DO still have to work for a living, no, Ollie?

I've used the Hasegawa supplied decals on my 1/72 scale jobs. Found them ok, but I'm not competition standard by a huge margin.

Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

you're not the only one.
Me, I don't really like comps
just put my models up for all to have a look at and then take them home

I wish I had a job now Barry...  But things have screwed all over the place, including my back-up plan.

So I'm completing my chopper lessons and will try to find something after that...

I would like to do my instructor course, since that would guarranty me a job afterwards.  But the old man is not too keen on that...

<_<  :(

That's too bad.  You might have to come out West to land of plenty.   ;)

What was your major at school again?

Isn't your dad also an aviator?  Doesn't want you doing that for a living?   :huh:

Should we start a petition?   ^_^

My dad flies, but that's not his job.  My major was in Management in a business school.

I'll talk to him again...
