Thanks guys!

Had big plans for yesterday, but as usual, I over-estimated what I could get done!
I did at least make some headway!

Scratched a torpedo sight...nothing in the kit or pe set to represent this.

Image

Used a Squadron vacform canopy...it was a single piece, had the be cut apart. Got interior color sprayed.

Image

PE set only had the one fin for the torpedo, I scratched the other (long one) with a piece of Arizona Sweet Tea aluminum (been a short while since I've broken that out!!!)

Wow...I must say this build and wing-fold is impressing me... :yikes:

Really about as good as it gets in 72nd scale...

More impressive work! I'd swear that this was a 1/48th scale kit if it weren't for the title!

Are you sayin I got FAT hands???!!!!! :chair:
:nono:


Main painting is done.

Went to stir up my IJN Green...big ole solid chunk of goop wrapped itself around the stir stick...no good!
Not willing to spend the hour+ and gas to go the the LHS, I mixed Med. Green and Insignia Blue. Added a splash of yellow for highlighting/fading.

man, a wish I could get your airbrush skills. I always end up covering my fading attempts :/
Every take-off has a landing...some are just better than others

Manny, read the title of the Thread: "1/72 Hasegawa Kate". :chair:

Still, he could be messing with our minds, calling it 1/72 when it really is 1/48! :boom: :tongue: :rofl:

Fermis, awesome work on that green! Man, you really nailed it! You really are a supreme Master!

Great work on the torpedo fin. If there is Arizona Tea can being used, you know it is a Fermis build.
