love seeing your work, BS
How did you do the aotake? I mixed the blue-green with acrylic hobby paints, then thinned it with future---more like tinted the future--to give it a sort of "see through" effect over the silver base coat

Every take-off has a landing...some are just better than others
Re: Ki-51 Sonia Hasegawa 1/72
Almost the same way I used. On the silver base I paint thinned glossy clear enamel with few drops of blue - green mix 
Re: Ki-51 Sonia Hasegawa 1/72
Slowly more updates
The panel lines washing after glossy coat to seal decals
And final coat of semi gloss clear.. that seems to me normal matt coat
Same steps on propeller and flap but no pictures.
Other works i did in the last days but not yet took pictures, works going slowly for the too hot summer and other duties before vacacy
At the next!

Looks mighty nice, BSY! Normally July is steamy hot, in the 90s both in temp and humidity. We have had 2 weeks or more of the same type of cold fronts that killed us this winter come through....dropped into the 50s this morning and highs in the low 80s. Sort of like being in Southern California!
To make each build less crappy than the last one. Or, put another way, "Better than the last one, not as good as the next one!"..

BSY, sorry! I can't convert F to C to save my soul! It is about the temp that late September is. OH, and you are one talented dude! Impressive as always.

That is looking very nice.
It's up to you how much money you want to spend and how many new words you want to create "correcting" something.
