This is a pretty good kit and you should enjoy building it. I built the 1/72 version of this Tamiya kit and it came out well. Oddly enough, you might want to hang onto the box. Tamiya switched the box art from the in-flight painting that you have to a more sedate ground scene which appears on the current release. Also the Shinden and Shiden were two distinctly different aircraft. The Shiden was a conventional fighter derived from the Kyofu (Rex) floatplane and the Shinden was an unconventional six-bladed pusher-prop design featuring canards.

another progress pic of the shiden.

let me know what you guys think about the paint chipping effect.

i tried not to over do it.

15

Invertman…I think it looks great so far. I think you achieved your goal of not going overboard with the chipping/ A flat cote and it will be perfection!

16

thanks mucker,

its the first time i tried this effect.

i will be applying the flat tomorrow.

17

Great masking job on the canopy.

Sometimes those can be a real pain, but you got a winner there.
