CDW got a reaction from popeye the sailor in Mitsubishi A6M2b by CDW - Tamiya - 1:72 scale - Finished
Thanks for the comment. If I got the colors right, it was by accident because a PTO, Japanese aircraft, and color expert I am not. Not even close. I just build and paint for the sheer pleasure of doing it. Like a blind squirrel, I may find an acorn every now and then.
I never realized the Japanese were doing the kamikaze thing that early in the war.

I’ll look for a decent kit of the P-40B. The only one that comes to mind is the Academy kit but there is maybe a Hasegawa kit

Topside is done. Fuel tank sticks out like a sore thumb as it hasn’t yet received a treatment similar to the rest of the model.

Here are the subtle panel accents done with white oil paint, applied highly diluted with white spirits. It tends to set off the panel lines a bit I think.

Here’s the finished panel line accent on the lower side. The idea here is to keep it subtle. Not too much, less is more. Will work the upper side then the panels after it dries. Oil takes a little longer to dry.

On the right, an application of a medium gray oil wash was applied to accent the panel lines. This will be done on both the lower and upper surfaces of the aircraft, followed by individual panel highlights before a mat varnish over everything.

Thanks Chris. 1:72 scale has come a long way in the past few years. Much more practical for shelf space. Even 1:144 scale is awesome now. Have a few large modern bombers to do in 1:144 scale, soon.
