Thank you both for taking the time to answer! Christian, I'm not sure what you mean with Vallejo 23 & 24. Vallejo usually uses 5 digit reference codes. I found none that ends in 23 or 24 that is an orange or yellow color. :ohmy: M

Apparently WW II Japanese a/c prototypes and trainer were painted a yellow/orange color. After Googling the subject, looking for what paint to use, I feel I know less than when I started. Any help on this would be appreciated, especially advise on what hobby paint to use. M

Thanks, MP! It's smaller than the Komet and the smallest model I've build so far. :) M

Painting of the pit: Gunze for the airbrush, Vallejo for the paintbrush. It's not a big model. LOL Cramped space for the pilot! The good thing with this kit is that the canopy is very thin and transparent. All the detail will be perfectly visible. More to come... M

1946 - Me P.1099B - UPDATE FEB/18th... Thanks Luiz for your answer to my question. I see you're doing the same with the guns as with the LG. I'd dread to paint all these parts in situ but I'm sure you know what you're doing. That primer has a very nice, smooth finish. Never seen it before...

Thanks, Warren! The painting of the pit is coming along. Should be done soon... M

That's a beaute! I'm talking about the plane... M

Thanks, MP! I'll get back to this one as soon as I'm done with the Katsuodori. M

Thanks, Luiz! MP, nice little bird! I like the treatment of the wood! And I think the bare metal/wood combination has a special appeal. :thumbsup :thumbsup M

Thank you guys! :drinks MP, no pics? ausf, wait till you hear about the RATOs! LOL M

Here is my next build: Kayaba Katsuodori from Meng in 1/72. It’s Hikoki 46, which is the Japanese equivalent of Luft 46, Hikoki meaning roughly ‘airplane.’ Strictly Whatif. The aircraft: The Katsuodori was a swept-wing, tailless design, which never reached mock-up stage. The heart of the...

1946 - Me P.1099B - Ready for painting... More guns sticking out of this one than the Tirpitz! Are you going to paint the beast withe wheels on or is it just for the photo shoot? M

Thanks, MP for the ribbon!! :thumbsup I'm officially a geek now! :bgrin M

Thanks! :drinks M

No, no others. That will be my first ribbon! :woohoo: M

Thanks, MP! That was for the Geek Up campaign. B) M

I love the Komet and this one's very nicely done! Excellent work, Gary!! :thumbsup :thumbsup :thumbsup M

MP, this is the milestones of flight hangar: a/c representing milestones in the history of flight are exhibited here, not only British subjects. Forgot to mention: my only deception was when I found the area reserved to Luftwaffe subjects in the Battle of Britain hangar closed off because the...

More pics coming but I have to confess that my photography sucks. For sure my camera does. It's good enough for my modeling needs but far from enough to capture big objects like airplanes under closed space lighting conditions. The flash just isn't powerful enough. Plus, after I shot a 100 odds...
