Nice idea, but no, not this time.

I've seen that scheme before and didn't like the idea of having to brush all those curvy bits - now I see there's an easier way! Top job!

The NMF looks awesome! Is that just paint or some form of alchemy?

Nahh, I don't do Alchemy anymore, they burn folks for that around here (right Zac  ).

Looking good Ian, the more I look at the Shinden the more I want to put a big turbo contra prop on one and some rockets and napalm tanks. I have never tried the blue tak sausage trick before and it looks really good. Looking forward to the finished article.

Ditto here!
I got a new airbrush for Christmas last year and I need to try it out on a pattern like that

[DogfighterZen]

That's looking very good indeed, sweet camo!

Is it too late to go with some kind of MASSIVE BFO cannon in the nose like the Me 262 with the 55mm Mauser?

No not too late, Lee, just don't want to do it on this project - off now to go put some stickers on it !!

We like it better when you're not here, what with showing us all up like that lol. Great job so far ! Thanks for showing us how you're doing it I want to try that someday. Cheers !

Well it's all done, after less than a week on the bench and tomorrow I'll be able to unmask the canopy and take some photos. Certainly not the best 'What If' project I've done, but two years after my last one, I'm very happy with it... so much so that I'm already thinking of another pseudo-Japanese project.

Anyone got any ideas what to do with a 1:48 'Raiden' - I'm thinking 'air racer' at the moment  - see you tomorrow.

Dutch ? As reparations post WWII and then it could have ended up in Indonesian colours ?
