I dunno Joel, a lot of this aircraft is silver dope, there'd be no variation there. Only the upper fuselage around the pit and engine panels appear to be true metal.

Another model of this time in the colors of a country emerging cherries. In the 30's the only legitimate painted silver.

Resin model, but as usual with the case in the manufacture, or there is something Dolan, cast or so that we do not know what it is, or may be missing parts. In this case, the latter I mean, that was missing baggies of elements to perform gunner, or swivel gun and all the crap you need to do here in the model ilości.Z unfortunately I have not done that part. If it were an ordinary Levis with a positioner that you can always adopt, but there happens to be a specific Japanese rifle with a very elaborate design, which I was not going to play.

Assume that this machine was flying without weapons: oops: after all these have happened. Not everything had to be used to kill: uzi:

Ryszard, first I commend you for a beautiful model of a very cool subject!C[ ]

I am not a fan of panel variation for the sake of 'prettying' or 'interesting-ing' (Hey, did I make a new verb?) up a model. It can make models look less authentic; I've scrutinized aircraft in photos and in person (Working planes and show planes.) for decades and found that NMF can be very uniform. What contributes to different panels can be different materials, such as along a P-51 cowling, or the same material applied in differing orientation, like the obvious panels on a B-29. That was explained to me by an airframe specialist as the way the light reflects from the minute 'grain' of the metal. Simpler airframes may only be comprised of a single alloy.

Of course, I have been known to vary my NMF panels...
