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

 

This is the 1/48 Tamiya kit built out of the box with Eduard Seats belts.  The model depicts the aircraft from 1/NJG 1 and the scheme is provided in the Tamiya kit. The whole model was painted with Mr. Hobby colours starting with a pre-shade of black on the panel lines and followed by the base colour of RLM 76 applied straight out of the bottle.  Highly diluted Gray Violet camouflage was then applied free hand with low air pressure.  The aircraft was then washed with a mixture of burnt umber and black oil paint after a coat of future floor polish.
