1/48 Tamiya Hyakushiki Shitei III

Recon Plane

A nice model, picked-up by my mother-in-law for one of my birthdays.  Later, after my son chose what markings to use (his favorites are tigers), it came to be one of the most enjoyable projects in recent months.

I went OOTB.  No big problems, except for some fit in the main canopy.  Later, decals were not good at all; the national insignia trended to break and the yellow bands too.  Finally, I decided to paint the yellow bands and the National insignia were taken from other kits.  The navigation lights were done adding bits of plastic toothbrushes.

Hope you all enjoy.  I always have problems with the pictures quality, but this time, I did it under a sunny day & using flash. 

Well, Best regards to you all....

It is always is a pleasure belonging to the ARC community.

Greetings from Mexico City.
