Here is a Ki-15-I, from the 16th Independent Chutai, China 1939
Base coat is airbrushed Tamiya XF-76 (IJN Grey-Green).
All details are hand painted with Vallejo acrylics. I used Tamiya’s new 1mm tape to mask off the tapered red stripe. I also used it to line out the panels on the canopy. This is a very low detail model, and getting the glass to look good would have been impossible for me without the super fine tape. This is an excellent product for fine detail work.
I used the Clipper method for prepping this Shapeways model. Like others have said, this last batch was very smooth.
I’ve got another in the works in a more IJA camo scheme.
