Gallery Article by Nick Kiriokos

I used Hawkeye's excellent resin cockpit as well as Eduards IJN harness set.  The cowl guns are made from  simple hypo needle.  The pitot tube is made of thin steel tubing. Antennae is made from thinly stretched sprue.

All paints were Aeromaster, and all weathering is done with pastels.  I used no washes.
