Nakajima Type 11 Night Fighter....in-progress
- Thread starter matrixone
- Start date
Thanks guys! 
Today I used some thinned black oil paint to add a pin wash on the control surface hinge lines, also the pin wash was added to a few access hatches to highlight them.
While I had my oil paints out I put a few streaks of dark brown on the lower engine nacelles to represent some oil leaking from the engines, this was kept very subtle because from what I can see Japanese engines did not leak as bad as those on Luftwaffe aero engines.
After I was finished with the oil paints I loaded up the airbrush and gave the model a coat of flat clear, this was done so I can check to see how much more weathering (if any) will be needed. After the flat clear coat was sprayed on the weathering I did on the tail markings and ''meatballs'' really looks the part.

A couple more in-progress pics, these pics show the highlights of the control surface gaps I did with a pin wash of thinned black oil paint, I did add a little more paint chipping in a few selected areas. The propellers are done with their weathering too but its hard to see in these pics.
Today I will start adding some of the smaller bits which will include the landing gear, this one is about finished! :woohoo:
Next up is a 1/32 scale Fw 190D-9.

James,
I have been looking forward to building the big Fw 190 even before I started the Nakajima.
Dave,
Yep, its back to the trout for me.
Christian,
There are a few more kits of Japanese aircraft in my stash so I will get back to them later. Next Japanese plane I build will be a fighter, not sure which one yet. There is a figure model I want to try and also an armor kit that I have been putting off....those damned rubber band tracks are really the reason why I avoid this one!

Hopefully not a George as it is on my short list but whatever, it's bound to be of interest.

Well then, this would be a single engine George making a strafing pass at the Duck when it was annoying me !

I have a 1/32 Dora myself . Guess the three of us could do a group build and see who waves the white flag first

More Buddies Building Butcher Birds?
These are the very last in-progress pics, this one only needs the flat clear coat, nav lights, and final assembly and its done!
This pic shows the engines and weathering on one of the props.
Two more pics...
Looking forward to getting this model off the workbench...its getting in the way of my Focke-Wulf.
