Decals have been applied I know we like thin but man some of these were just to thin I lost several.I have several mistakes in the paint all on the undersides 1) the white under the wings went one panel to far inboard.2) the white band on the tail is 1/16" to wide hint the "A" hit the white centering the "Z" and 3) the RLM 78 was to go much lower between the wing and tailplanes live and learn.I think when done 9 out of 10 people will never notice those mistakes so I march on.I made up the colors for the props,bombs and prop covers.

I figured I was getting close enough to the end to post Mark. -
Now here is the progression on the shading I did not go black base on this typical Mr Surfacer 1200 was the laid and MM Africa 1942 Sand then the upper panel lines were done in MM Italian Sand.I then started inside of the panels with the Italian Sand(darkest) next came Yellow Zinc Chromate and on to white.I then came back over that with the 1942 slowly building it up I was still not happy with it pic2 so I laid down more #3.I started on the bottom with a med Grey for the panel lines and ever so lightly in a few panel started with the 1942 and went back over with RLM 78 you will notice in #4 R/wing has the dust and the L/wing needs more toning down.The toning down and dust came in #7 I like the effect.I then made a color of a lot of white 70% and 30%1942 almost pink I misted the wings up top and the spine of the fuselage a dust effect sun fade #5 did all the white also.I have the clear on it now and will do some more tomorrow before work and let dry good then decals and pastels

Looking good Chris been seeing so many HellCats and F4F's lately it's trying to make me bite.
-

Craig I have been seeing more of that technique showing up on YT builds.I like the technique over just doing pre-shading of panel lines breaks up the color ever so slightly.I like the effect you accomplished in 1/72 it would seem as one moves of in scale more you can play. -
OC that field /hedge look well the part Sir.
-
Well Mike it's hard to say a full white but it's real close look at how the forward gun projects itself on the building.Then their is a building behind the center of the ship a couple hundred yards looks white.I think if you go for this pic as your driving force for the build white with a touch of grey better yet find some other pics of peace time no matter the ship as long as Japanese Navy.

I like to run that stuff through my bandsaw quick and effective!So what's the length on this ship in real life Mike?What glue are you using to attach the rails and doors?
