Hi Chuk,
The kill markings on this are relatively easy, I have created 3,4 and 5 part masks for Unit emblems. I've produced a 4 colour (4 part) mask, for the unit marking on a 1/35 scale Bren carrier, which was only 6mm square! the guy that I did this for had had a stroke and only had the use of one arm, I will have to post the pictures of the carrier that he sent me, it puts to shame all those that are scared of using masks

I did finish the Shinden for Scale Model world and had it "flying" over a baseboard that had the Rising sun flag, the aircraft designation and a plaque saying what it was, all masked and painted (of course ), with a space left for a DVD player on which I ran slide shows of the painting of the Shinden and customers pictures So this final sequence of pictures carries on from where the last update finished with the white wing stripes being re-done and the port Hinomaru re-instated, and the red warning edge on the fins painted. Then the the pictures of the completed model with the canopy unmasked (who is that pilot figure?), pito tube, made from Albion Alloys telescoping tubing, and the nav lights attached, and finally the model on it's base. The brass tube was replace with one about 3 times it's length for the show

A very good build. Russell

Beautiful model! I think Imperial Japanese aircraft are my primary Axis subjects because of all of their primary colors in their markings. I really want to get back to gluing things together and jump into some "1946" kits.

Great job, Mal.

Sccchwwiiiiinngggg!!! Oh, my, but that out sweet! Will you be marketing this as a set? I hope you did well at the show- cheers!

Thanks Frederick, Yes I also like the look of Japanese markings, I'm planning a range of masks for the Zoukei-Mura kits and their next is the Raiden which I have done the masks for the one with the lightning flashes on already, for my Hasegawa kit

Hi Chuck, yes it is cool looking, like something out of Star Wars rather than late (very) WWII. Yes this will be part of the Zoukei-mura range, as well as the prop version. This is basically all the markings from the prop version plus the flashes and codes; I will do some research to try and determine which units may have have actually used this aircraft, if it had reached production. The markings are a mixture of several, so it would be nice to be able to tie them down a little better

Yes I did pretty well at the show, I only had the 2 products, as shown elsewhere, and I vertually sold out of 1 and sold quite a few of the other, with punters asking for stuff that I had sold out of, so that's all good. Next year I will have a much larger product range, including, hopefully, the full Zoukei-Mura range Quite a number of people commented on Millie, saying that she looked familiar, or "that looks like Chukw's work". I had great pleasure in confirming that and talking to them about your fantastic work and running my DVD with the pictures of your Ju-388 build
