Japanese Reppu now FINISHED!!!

[matrixone]

This is the 1/72 scale MPM Reppu that was finished in the last six hours of 2012, the pics of this model was taken days later after waiting for the weather to clear up and stop raining.
The Reppu actually built in the last weeks of the war but never entered production status and only two were ever built, my model has fictional markings as if it might have had if it were used on operations.
Camouflage colors were custom mixed from Model Master enamel paints in order to get the dark green/blue color that was sometimes used on very late war Japanese Navy aircraft.

Nice build of a rough kit.

Try the Fine Molds kit.  Far superior.

Thanks guys!

I wanted to have more convincing squadron markings on this model but I don't have spare Japanese markings in my decal spares box like I do with Luftwaffe subjects.

Nicely done, as always! I particularly like the second of the three "aged" photos - very convincing.
