My entry is the Shinden racer. I started it on June 16, 2017 and finished it on July 6. I made a few modifications the 1/48 scale Hasegawa kit. The fit and detail of the kit is very good.
Modifications:
1. I filled gun ports with putty.
2. I modeled it with the landing gear retracted. This was not a kit option so I had to modify the outboard doors and add some braces.
3. I Painted it RUST-OLEUM satin magenta. The black areas are ebony RUB-N-BUFF. I highlighted detail with a black wash.
4. The decals are from a 1/48 scale JU-87.
5. I installed a pilot from a Lindburg JU-87.
I have great difficulty with painting canopy frames, so I tried a new method of my own devising. I covered some paper stickers with black ink. Then I cut them very thin and glued them to the canopy with "extreme power medium advanced performance instant adhesive. The glue smeared and some of the frames are too thick. Otherwise, I am pleased with finished kit. Here are 2 pictures of the finished kit and 1 extremely rare picture from the 1946 International Air Race.
