1/72 Tamiya Aichi M6A1-K Nanzan

--------------------

 

The Aichi Nanzan was the version with retractable landing gear of the Aichi Seiran seaplane.  Only two Nanzan were build during 1944 and used for flight testing and later as two-seat trainers.   

The Tamiya kit is very easy to build with only few parts.  I decided to represent one of the two aircraft used for test and painting in overall orange.

The orange colour is obtain by a combination of Tamiya's orange (X6), red brown (XF64) and a touch of red (X-7). I've finished my kit with flat varnish. 

The finishing is a little bit more "flashy"  than green and grey camouflages of other kits in my showcase.

Happy modeling
