Received the Flying Papa's decal set for my contribution in the last contest and wanted to show it wasn't just tossed in the stash!
I've built a couple of the old Tamiya Mitsubishi "Raiden", this was my first Otaki one, builds like all the rest, quick and easy. There's newer, better kits, but it still makes a nice model.
Done as one captured in Singapore I believe, there's a well-known pic of this and a stablemate over the Malaysian jungle.

While I appreciate the gift, the decals themselves were a little disappointing, with a weird pixelation:
I used the lettering, but replaced the roundels with some from the stash.

It still looks good from a distance though, and it's just a shelfsitter, a quickie build to finish something while I've been procrastinating on my bigger builds.

Thanks Mark. Your "Raiden" looks lovely. Will complain to Flying Papa's and rest assured your suggestion for a future contest theme will be put into good use.
Nice looking Raiden! Airfix had the same problem with their decals for a short time. Yes, sometimes the older kits are a good, quick build to keep things moving along.
ReplyDeleteThanks for cleaning up my commentary! And again, thanks for the decals, very generous and I do appreciate them.
