Some Kates

Today I present some Nakajima B5N Kates. These have actually been done for a while, I just didn't get around to posting them. I tried something a little different on these, and I'm not sure I like it. I used a Rustoleum clear matte finish in an attempt to save a few pennies over my standard Testors Dullcote, and they turned out with a bit of a semi-matte sheen to them. I think I'll stick with Dullcote from now on.

I have a bunch of CY6 stuff on the table in progress, but I find myself getting distracted by a couple of other projects that have been languishing for quite some time and I feel I should just go ahead an finish them. Updates as events warrant.

And the Oscar Goes to...

Me! I'd like to thank Scotia miniatures, Raiden Miniatures, I-94 Enterprises, Skirmish Campaigns, Dom's Decals and everyone else who makes CY6 possible...

OK, sorry. That was bad. How about if I just show the pictures now and let everyone get on with their day. Thanks for looking.

Some Nates

Here's the Japanese Nakajima Ki-27 Nates I bought at Spartacon all painted up for CY6. While not the best aircraft in history, these will provide good opponents for the Flying Tigers that are in the works, along with the Chinese Nationalists I intend to do at some point. These are from Scotia, painted in Polly S Imperial Japanese Grey, which may technically be a little on the lighter side, but it looked good to me, especially in scale, and even seems to have the slightest olive green tint to it that these planes reportedly had. So there you go.






















Also, a sneak peak at one of the Sallys in progress. More Flying Tiger targets!
