well here it is my first model after a 15 years stop (never had used an airbrush till now) turned out ok ,after a bad beginning because of trying new technics of weathering. Hope you like and C&C welcomed.

Very nice, I have always liked Japanese WWII aircraft. Is it the Otaki/Arii kit?

Hi Ricardo!

Very nice model, particularly after a 15 years break!

I wonder what you will build next. I hope you will post some progress pictures. Welcome to Aeroscale by the way!

no its the tamiya kit but not a good one being a tamiya i guess, was expecting more from it.

Going to build a Lavochkin LA-7 but not finding any information about it. Dont know what color have to put on the fuselage its a Blueish gray but cant find anything for him in tamiya or vallejo to paint it.
