Oh wow that is incredibly interesting!! I definitely did quite a lot of research into this one so i’m glad it paid off! Thanks for the kind words😁

@machmodels before he passed a few years ago he used to tell me about his life during the war. Japanese had a bomber base and fighter base here and they bombed China During the flying tiger days. Also not many people know Thailand had a war against France during WW2 in 1940. He used to say they painted the Hinomaru every day. If there was stains or chips they were punished. One critique is possibly overkill on paint chipping. Depending on when the model is depicted. Japan had some of the best paint of all nations during ww2 up until September 1943 when an 7.0 earthquake destroyed the main plant. After that multiple manufacturers made paint which was lower quality.

What incredible knowledge! Thank you so much for sharing all of this, if I ever do another Japanese aircraft I’ll be sure to reference this comment! If i’m being honest I must agree that the chipping went a little overboard… it was just so satisfying!! Thanks again😁

@machmodels my father builds models for the local air force museum so I understand what you mean when you say you do research haha.

it'd be accurate to chip it too, as there historical photos of japanese planes with some chipping on the hinomaru, thus plenty of people build them accurately, are you the guy who was going all over modeller's videos saying their models were awful because they chip the hinomaru? I remember you.

Thank you very much Gary! Glad you enjoyed it😉

Thank you very much! It was scary for me as well… rather tense buttocks! Wow that sounds like it would look great - let me know how you get on👌🏻

Thank you! Glad you liked it😁

Thank you! That was the plan to add another dimension to the chips as sometimes they look a little too boring with just the bold aluminium shining through😁

I can see why you would think that! But all of my chipping was done off of reference images😁

Are you familiar with anyone who does a kit?😄

Thank you very much mate! Glad you enjoyed it😁

Thank you very much! Glad you like it😁😁

Thank you Joe! Glad you like it😁😁

Thank you very much mate! Haha yeah the videos do seem to be rolling out pretty steadily at the moment😁

Thank you very much! Definitely a unique subject but a joy to build so I must recommend😁

Thank you very much bud! Really appreciate it😁

Haha yeah! Too fast?!

Thank you very much dude! Much appreciated😄

Thank you very much dude!!😁

@@machmodels 👍👍👍

Well how about that! Thank you very much for letting me know👌🏻

Perhaps! Not really my flavour unfortunately👌🏻

Thank you! Unfortunately I don’t have a hold of my Rufe at the moment, a friend is keeping it for a while! I don’t believe it is anymore than 15cm tall though!😁

Thank you for your help, I would like to know for sure. I want to buy and make this model, but I'm afraid it won't fit on my shelf, I have a distance between the shelves of 12-13 centimeters...@@machmodels

Thank you! Really appreciate the information as well, I’ll make sure to take it into consideration for the next one😁👌🏻

I believe I painted mine black but I’m not sure if that’s historically accurate!😁

Thank you sir!😉

I had to paint a couple of the parts before hand as if I fitted the photo etch at the same time I’d probably paint over some of that lovely detail… if that makes sense🤣

Ehhh I think so… although my knowledge of the scheme isn’t brilliant!

Haha! Hopefully that’s a good thing?!🤣

I don’t think I ever called myself an expert! If I did I really apologise because I don’t consider myself anywhere near the level of an expert!

@@machmodels your right your not but you still expect to make money out of it

@@derekryan4299 ehh no this channels main purpose is to document my builds and talk about how I get on with a kit. Rather rude to assume that I do this for revenue🥲

@@machmodels fine you may go your dissmissed

Okay! Thanks for the feedback I shall try stop😁

Thank you mate! Glad you liked it😁

Thank you so much mate!😁😁

Thank you so much mate!
