1:144
1/144 is just too small for me to accurately pre-shade with an airbrush, even using a detail airbrush, so I came up with...
1:144 I.J.N. Interceptor Shiden-Kai (Platz PD-4)1:144 Salmson 2 A2 double set (Valom 14430)1:144 Thunderbolt Mk.II Bubbletop (Platz PDR-25)52+

Thanks, Spanjaard. This the first 1/144 I've completed (several in the works right now), and my first use of an Iwata HP-B+ airbrush. Camo didn't quite turn out how I intended, but I'm happy with it, and I learned a lot about the detail airbrush. Next up: MicroAce Ki-84 Hayate from the same kit.

The Sweet kits are much better quality than the MicroAce-- I had to do a lot of extra work on the Ki-43 and Ki-84 cowlings to make them fit properly, and the landing gear and stabilizer fit is very loose. I've started one of the Sweet A5M4s-- a much more enjoyable build.
