Comparison vs the P-40 ...
This kit was a joy to build. Zero fit issues. Simple steps, nothing complicated during the builds.
How I achieved the silver.
First started with a black base followed with a coat of silver.
Next, the shot a mist coat of Tamiya Titanium Silver. And finally top it with Testors Non Buffing Aluminum Metalizer.
Inner flaps, gear doors and wheel wells I used Model Master Interior Metallic Blue, which is close to Aotaki Interior Blue.
I ordered Mr. Color 58 Orange Yellow, which is a better match than IJN Deep Yellow.
The cowl color I used Mission Model Q1 Anti glare Blue Black WW2 Cowl color. (I highly recommend this for all your WW2 Japanese aircrafts)
