Airfix Mitsubishi KI-46-II Dinah - Part II

Without further ado - here's the finished kit, in Air Defence of Japan livery (which by the way is a mistake to choose, as the extra armament of machines assigned to defense of home islands are not provided by Airfix).

Not much to tell about the final stages of construction or the paint job, except perhaps that I've chosen Tamiya XF-57 Buff acrylic paint for the overall beige color of the airframe. The choice wasn't based on any reference, but an assumption that Tamiya should have good insight into what colors were used by Japanese during WWII and XF-57 seems to come closest to the beige color specified by Airfix. Also, airbrushing with Tamiya acrylics is a blissful experience - you just paint and don't have to deal with all the hassle one always seems to have to wrestle with when using Humbrol and Lifecolor paints.

So here it is, hope you like it.
