Nakajima J9N KiKa prototype

"some" flash on the sprue 

This one is a lot better 

The cockpit, although a bit crude, isn't that bad at all. 

 

Interiour green applied 

The front wheel well is suplied as a resin insert, without any internal detail. Lead weights have been fixed with bluetack. 

 

A bit of filler needed 

Really AZ? Huge knock out pins on the inside of the wheel well.... 

Quite a bit of filler needed, much to my own hamfisted work, a i managed to make several gluestains  

 

Small steps taken, due to the amount of filler and sanding I decided not to do the bare metal finish, but go for green/grey or the orange sheme 

 

 

Canopy masked and fitted 

Skid added from brass wire 

Base coat in tamiya flat aluminium. 

The canopy came off while air brushing, I had dropped it before I started painting, and did not notice it came loose 

Picked out pannels in grey and dark aluminium.  

 

Canopy painted in Ijn green
