Modeller Build Logs

Type 2 Ka-Mi

I was shipped this example by Airedale some time ago. A renewed hull was also shipped to me from whence I have started the kit. I reviewed the kit some time ago for track-link also. Since I did the review I have come across some parts that need to be addressed in the build that I will point out in the BLOG. I feel very fortunate to have this kit and will try to do it justice. This is one vehicle I would love to see in plastic but probably never will. Reference that I use will be also pointed out along with the build.

Adding floatsSep 11, 2008
I like to paint and weather as much as possible areas that are difficult to reach. Prior to adding the front and rear pontoons I weathered the hull and pontoons where they contact. Weathering here has been done by using oil paints to create water streaks and salt water deposits. It may be difficult to see in the photo but it is there.
