Looks good - didn't know there was a green aotake. Impressive surface and wheel well detail for 1972!

Lovely start Carlos! I do like that Green aotake - it's a great colour.

Still following! Nice paint job!

Thanks Bruce! Now I gotta do all that interior detail painting that slows down every aircraft build…

Thank you, Carlos. WWII Japanese aircraft have always held a special degree of interest because I would so rarely see any professional build ups like you’re doing here!

I was wondering what you’ll see through the canopy glass—not that I’d ever shy from painting everything just to know the build is complete!

A feature of many vintage kits is the thickness of clear plastic that’s used for the molding.

Are you planning an open cockpit build?

John, I love looking at some of these old kit and finding how ahead if the drive that some companies were…

Thanks Stuart! I had read about the green shade, but until I stumbled across this Mig version of the color, I had no idea what it was. Now I remember that Pactra had a green and blue metallic shades in their line that was identical to what the Blue amd Green Aotake colors are… who knew back in the 70’s…
