Japanese Aircraft Online Model Contest 014 - JAN KANOV

And here's the finished model. The rendition of this well-known aircraft is the result of a search for the two hull colors. I followed one of several theories / conjectures, that the paint had faded due to sun exposure. I decided not to follow the color scheme suggested by Hasegawa. I hope you like the result

Japanese Aircraft Online Model Contest 014 - JAN KANOV - WIP #4

The following construction photos show the application of WET transfers. The set is full of tiny details. The following photos are after applying a wash which is a new thing for me, so I tried to be decent.
Next I tackled the engine cowling. The drilled exhausts looked like a princess crown. So I started their improvement and the result is more than satisfactory! On the cowling came a couple of deck guns and as usual, they were made by injection needles, with great results. 

Unfortunately, I made a novice mistake. A friend of mine said that I had the wrong color behind the pilot's head. And I realized it immediately, it is a machine from the Mitsubishi factory!!!!!! So, I reworked the headrest column. I'm happy with the result, although it probably will not be seen at the end, but it does not matter. The last thing I had to think about was how to do the navigation lights. I mean the little monsters on top of the wings. I guess someone in the future will release something to exact revenge on the modellers who spend hours and effort to make them look good from scratch. Finally I went ahead and grinded the shape of a tear from a clear parts tree. I hope you like the result. And that is the end of this fairy tale.

Japanese Aircraft Online Model Contest 014 - JAN KANOV - WIP #3

I just want to add some information. The model was equipped with a cockpit from CMK (Czech Master Kits). It is not directly on the model 11, but originally on the model 52b / c (rolled in the cabinet). Nobody knows this when looking into the cockpit. From this set I used only the most necessary and the pilot's seat was supplied from the kit.
 The seat is completed with textile belts from the set HGWmodels. The assembly of belts is not recommended for people with weak will !!! The number of suicides could increase.:D . . . . But the result is phenomenal !!!!!!
 To diversify the model, I decided to try another novelty (at least for me) namely WET TRANSFER from HGWmodels. This excited me. And so much so that it perfectly outweighs the time needed for their application. It is true that the smallest things must not always be done, but if they succeed, they have no competition.
 Propeller, so here you can see the fineness of Transfers. Others will show up in the final work on the fuselage and wings.
I did not use a single decal from the kit. I used hair spray masks for matriculation of the machine and other markings. Hinomaru and red border on wings as well.
