| David Duckett | Dave Diels Engineering, Inc Kit #10, Kyushu J7W1 Shinden | Build | 26-Apr-09 07:57 |  | | Views : 827 | | The instructions say "dark green". I know nothing about Japanese colors but I think this is fairly close. |

| David Duckett | Dave Diels Engineering, Inc Kit #10, Kyushu J7W1 Shinden | Build | 24-Apr-09 22:07 |  | | Views : 866 | | the light green base will make it easier to now paint on the dark green starting by carefully painting around the white borders on the meatballs. |

I'veapplied them over a light green base and they have been sprayed with Krylon satin acrylic because paint doesn't adhere to a decal well at all. |

| David Duckett | Dave Diels Engineering, Inc Kit #10, Kyushu J7W1 Shinden | Build | 24-Apr-09 01:25 |  | | Views : 963 | | Not scale but they are the correct size, 1 1/8", for the main wheels. The nose wheel is the same GWS product being used on the P-40. |
| David Duckett | Dave Diels Engineering, Inc Kit #10, Kyushu J7W1 Shinden | Build | 20-Apr-09 22:41 |  | | Views : 903 | | This is the correct size wheel and length of the front gear. |
| David Duckett | Dave Diels Engineering, Inc Kit #10, Kyushu J7W1 Shinden | Build | 20-Apr-09 17:36 |  | | Views : 861 | | Shinden-shape. I'm using decals from the Guillows Rufe which are too big to be scale. They also would not have the white outer circle but the meatballs are the only markings on a dark green plane and the white will really separate the colors. Scale and I don't always see eye to eye when it comes to paint and markings. |
