Would you you consider using a vacuum shaped canopy for this build?

I've started to browse vacuum canopy parts separately, then to track back to kits that the vac forms would fit. Though in my experience some vac canopies aren't that great (not blemish free glass). One canopy piece was even dented when I got it in my mail. 🙁

Daniel Klink
Welcome Mates, glad to have you all here 👍
So we started with the interior assembling and filling some ejector marks.
But Tamiya especially in 48 is really amazing crisp and clean stuff wow!!

26 May 2021, 14:20

Thank you Guillaume, much appreciated mate👍

27 May 2021, 22:59
Clifford Keesler
Man that is awesome Daniel, great looking crew.
28 May 2021, 03:46
Alex Rodionov
Excellent crew. Especially for 1/48 ?
28 May 2021, 03:56
Erik Leijdens
Looks mighty fine already Daniel! Never knew Tamiya released a Betty in the past, I must be living under a stone I guess 🙂
28 May 2021, 08:12
Daniel Klink
Thank you Clifford, erika and Alex much appriciated mates👍
@Erik, just for 25 years enough time left to get and build one left 🙂
28 May 2021, 09:20
Daniel Klink
Ready to fly
28 May 2021, 15:23
David Taylor
Love the crew,puts a bit of soul into the aircraft as well as scale.
28 May 2021, 15:49
Daniel Klink
Thank you David, yes most manufacturers ignore the Crews!
Whoa that really is a big Cigar....
28 May 2021, 16:59
James C
Nice progress Daniel. The crew looks great and the addition of maps and other smaller details to the navigator and radio positions are a nice touch. Looks to be coming together nicely. 👍
28 May 2021, 18:37
Clifford Keesler
Have always wanted the Tamiya Betty, looks like a nice kit.
28 May 2021, 21:21
Andrea Morris
@Clifford It is a superb Tamiya kit, great fun to build, get one! 🙂
29 May 2021, 00:53
Daniel Klink
Yes, despite of lack o interior detail and the rather bad done weapons it is great.
30 May 2021, 21:36
Clifford Keesler
Probally can find after market weapons for it. I will check it out and see if I can find one in stock somewhere.
31 May 2021, 01:02
Andrea Morris
@Cliff Have you checked Hannants?
31 May 2021, 08:46
Clifford Keesler
No I have not. I always forget about Hannants. I will check them out. I checked my usual shops, and of course all not in stock. But I will keep looking.
2 June 2021, 22:12
Clifford Keesler
Found one, It is on order. Yah hoo. LOL.
2 June 2021, 22:14
Spanjaard
i am too late 😉

Andrea Morris
Chuffed for you Cliff. Some folks don't know about Hannants, but if it's hard to find Hannants often have it. Only one left Spanjaard!!!
3 June 2021, 01:10
Spanjaard
thanks Andrea, but I meant I was to late to offer one to buy 😉 for some reason i was seeing the post from Clifford about not finding one, but not the one where he got one.
i left the links just in case somebody else was looking for it
3 June 2021, 06:47
Daniel Klink
Congrats Clifford for your catch 👍
It is really big btw. just in case i forgot to mention it before! 🙂
4 August 2021, 20:54
Daniel Klink
Big Plane.. Powerful tools!.Never needed this kind of powerful pressure before🙂
6 August 2021, 13:23
Spanjaard
simple ideas are usually great idea. I hope it does not leave marks in the plastic
6 August 2021, 13:40
David Januska
What happened Daniel, you've left the Braill scale😉. But result is the same perfect as in 1/72 👍.
6 August 2021, 13:47
Daniel Klink
Hi spanjaard, yap everything went fine no marks or something and now it fits like a charme.
Just someminor sanding and filling needed.. 👍
@David Thank you mate..dont worry the 72 stays 1st choice. But there is no good G4M1 around
in 72 so i have to do this Monster!! 🙂

And gosh it is huge! nearly takes the whole A2 mat.
6 August 2021, 22:18
Rui
Looking good! ?
6 August 2021, 22:37
Spanjaard
👍
6 August 2021, 22:47
Clifford Keesler
Looking very nice Daniel.
7 August 2021, 01:11
Daniel Klink
Thank you so much Rui, Spanjaard and Clifford for the positive feedback!.
So the masking is done Phew!!and the Airframe is almost completely fitted together!..
That masking stuff is really one of the challenging stuff with japanese Aircraft, esp. Bombers. 🙂
8 August 2021, 21:35
James C
Looking great Daniel, especially the extensive masking 👍 Any issues encountered with the assembly? I'm eyeing up mine at present
8 August 2021, 22:22
Daniel Klink
Hi James, Thank you very much mate!
The only issue is the fuselage part behind the side canopys to the rudders.
There the fuselage is nearly empty inside and i had to cut away the locator pins to get both sides
Fitted perfectly.
8 August 2021, 22:29
James C
Awesome, thanks for the tip 👍
8 August 2021, 22:39
John
Excellent work so far. I too have a Betty in my stash and look forward to getting her on the bench. Are you planning an overall green or two-tone paint scheme?
9 August 2021, 00:14
Rui S
Here we go... Watching 👍
9 August 2021, 01:03
Slavo Hazucha
Let´s take a seat for another of those beautiful birds doomed to fight a lost war... Always a pleasure to watch this channel 😉
9 August 2021, 08:30
Daniel Klink
@Jamesmy pleasure mate?
@john and Rui thank you very much and welcome mates?
I will do the two tone scheme as with the G3M john.
@slavo you are always welcome and you are right. The early successes were soon just wastepaper.
Glad you like them though👍
9 August 2021, 11:27
Guy Rump
|Great progress, looking good 👍
9 August 2021, 16:28

Nice progress, the pilots are very successful. I did not know the trick of Cable tie, i will use it.
Wait to see more...
10 August 2021, 16:28
Robin (WhiteGlint)
Another great big bird in the making. 👍
10 August 2021, 18:54
Clifford Keesler
I agree another masterpiece in the works.
11 August 2021, 15:18
David Taylor
Daniel.Does the kit come with crew or are they aftermarket.
11 August 2021, 16:28
Daniel Klink
Thank you guys very much appreciated?
The kit comes with crew! They are really well done!
11 August 2021, 17:00
David Taylor
shocked and surprised at that.
11 August 2021, 18:48
Slavo Hazucha
Just noticed the Revell contacta glue applicator in the back - this ain't a small feat at all! 😮
11 August 2021, 19:22
Daniel Klink
@David Tamiya has a heart für us modellers 🙂
@Salvo, but it is the small one by Revell! But you are right not small at all!
Ok compared to a B-29 in this scale... It i sthe shape of the fuselage that let this one look so huge.

12 August 2021, 19:36
Clifford Keesler
Finally got mine, plus have a few other Japanese aircraft, I fear my attempts will be a joke compared to your works, and prop planes used to be my favorites.
12 August 2021, 23:23
Daniel Klink
Very cool Clifford, and you make me Blush again?
Iam sure your results will be as brillant, as your jet projects?
15 August 2021, 11:32
Daniel Klink
Hi, engines are in progress...
Though just a relief, they are made quiet good by tamiya!
Only added some copperwire as ignition cables.
26 August 2021, 13:49
David Taylor
Always impressed by hteir engines.
26 August 2021, 14:49

Rui
It looks just like the cucumber proposal pic you posted. Now I will never look at it the same again 🤪
11 September 2021, 16:07
Daniel Klink
Hi Rui, yap indeed now even more with the green...🙂
11 September 2021, 19:17
James C
Looks to be progressing nicely 👍
11 September 2021, 19:17
Daniel Klink
Thank you James..but i o not think i will do another aircraft of this size in 1/48🙂
11 September 2021, 20:08
David Taylor
You could always do the cucumber(Devils food)as a what if.
11 September 2021, 21:00
Clifford Keesler
Looking very awesome Daniel.
12 September 2021, 00:22
Guillaume Blanchet
Great going!
12 September 2021, 01:08
Simon Nagorsnik
Your newest project looks interesting, I am already looking forward to the results
you inspire me to start my japan af project ... soon 😅
12 September 2021, 18:04
Daniel Klink
Thank you David, Cliffors, Guillaume and Simon very much appreciated words mates ! 👍
@David yap right tomorrow i will go grocery shopping 🙂
@Simon Go for it They are still too rare seen those Hinomaru Birds.
12 September 2021, 20:06
Daniel Klink
BTW: I think i got used to those flexible Airbrush stencils. The effect is really not bad.
12 September 2021, 20:07
Adam Gudynowski
Paintjob looks proimising 👍
13 September 2021, 08:01
Andrew Horton
Wow! Looks like you've got some great paint schemes going there.
13 September 2021, 09:47
Slavo Hazucha
Some serious blue cheese finish all over the airframe! 👍 😉

type 91 torp also looking quite fresh!
13 September 2021, 14:09
Clifford Keesler
That paint job is looking very promising Daniel. I need to try those air brush stencils.
14 September 2021, 01:47
Daniel Klink
Now all Tamiya tape is gone! 🙂
15 September 2021, 18:31
Daniel Klink
Thank you very much Adam, Flight Line, Slavo and Clifford for your nice and encouraging words 👍
@Clifford go and get one you will like it, i promise.
@Slavo yap some Gorgonzola appearance 🙂
15 September 2021, 18:49
Daniel Klink
YOu have to spray in very thin layers!
But i like the effect already
19 September 2021, 14:34
David Taylor
Everybody else does as well Daniel.
19 September 2021, 17:22
Sebastian Meyner
It's getting better and better Daniel 👍
19 September 2021, 18:22
Christian Abraham
Awesome mate
19 September 2021, 18:26
Rui S
Looking great 👍
19 September 2021, 18:48
John
Daniel - which paint brand are you using?
19 September 2021, 20:11
Clifford Keesler
Agree, looking great indeed.
19 September 2021, 20:48
Daniel Klink
Thank you so much David, Sebastian, Christian, Rui, John and Clifford!
Makes me somewaht happy that you like my work 👍
@John i use, Ak interactive and Real colors for this build! With the specific thinner they are quite well to handle.
Only the underside is sprayed with Gunze Aquaeous.

21 September 2021, 19:53
Simon Nagorsnik
your pre shading technique works really well,it´s a top result!
21 September 2021, 20:41
Daniel Klink
Thank you Simon, and i am quite satisfied too with the progress so far!
Though the Ak interactive colors have to been sprayed quick and only work with their specific thinner. So you have to use the special real color thinner from Ak for their Real Color range🙂

22 September 2021, 10:58
Simon Nagorsnik
i´ve also some rc colors in stock, used them with tamiya´s "yellow cab" thinner
but i don´t like them so much because i always get a too matt surface and they darkened me too much
maybe I was doing something wrong but now i´m really happy with my vallejo´s 😁
22 September 2021, 15:15
Daniel Klink
I would not recommend the AK'S for bigger Areas anymore!🙂
22 September 2021, 17:10
bughunter
It looks like you are working slowly on this bird and takes your time - this pays back massively! 👍
22 September 2021, 17:15
Daniel Klink
BTW: Christmas Time is coming closer, time to wrap presents! 🙂
22 September 2021, 17:16

22 September 2021, 23:47
Clifford Keesler
Looking very nice sir.
23 September 2021, 00:02
John
Daniel - I am a big fan of the AK Real Colors and have had good luck with them. I usually mix them pretty thin, at least 50% with their thinner. I used them on my Corsair and Skyray and it turned out well. I also have many colors of the Vallejo Model Air line, but have mixed results with them - still have not figured out the right mixture yet.
23 September 2021, 01:07
David Taylor
Camo makes it pop.
23 September 2021, 14:12
Sebastian Meyner
Very convincing paint job Daniel 👍
23 September 2021, 14:39
Daniel Klink
Hi mates, thank you very much for your kind and warm
Words!
A pity that photos does not show the whole effect!
Only in the ligted areas!
@ john they are absolute ok but for such large areas it is quite demanding to keep it fluent evenly😉
23 September 2021, 15:57
Guy Rump
Looking great Daniel 👍
23 September 2021, 16:29
Daniel Klink
Thank you very much Guy, much appreciated 👍
And i got the feeling that you got infected with the hinomaru AC's, when i follow your projects and Albums 👍
23 September 2021, 20:21
James C
Stunning paintwork once again 👍
23 September 2021, 21:04
Guy Rump
You're right Daniel, I am building up a collection of WW2 hinomaru ACs, the bug has got me! 🙂
24 September 2021, 14:47
Miro Herold
I would say, that is masterpiece of modelling. Bravo Daniel.
24 September 2021, 15:18
Robin (WhiteGlint)
👀
Paintjob is really nice. 👍
I think the result of your pre-shading is easier to see on this giant bird.
24 September 2021, 15:49
Daniel Klink
Thank you James, Miro and white Glint... really appreciate those comments mates👍
@ guy yeah and your progress is visible with every build mate 👍
24 September 2021, 22:34

26 September 2021, 14:42
Slavo Hazucha
Great paintjob and shading on both color tones - I was grilling some of our home-grown zucchini today, and they were pretty much in this green paint range... which I guess is a good thing! 😄

Seriously cool job, agree with bughunter, could be on the top! 👍
26 September 2021, 19:01
Clifford Keesler
Agree with everyone, just beautiful.

Looking better and better 👍 Did you use the kit's decals? If you did, they're hardly visible and lay down nicely ….you mastered Tamiya decals better than almost anyone else 🙂

Hi Mates,
thank you for your kind comments 👍
@Sebastian..thank you and yes i use the Kits decals for the unit numbers and the small stencil under the elevators.
The Hinomarus are sprayed becaus the decals in the kit crumbled apart.
@Jan very cool 👍

At that time, Japan was not advanced in mechanical technology. However, you have shown a lot of modelers in your wonderful work the process of effort that leads to the present.
17 October 2021, 23:52
Daniel Klink
Hi Akira and thank you very much for your very nice and honoring words for my work mate 👍
Ive been always fascianted by the fast and consequent uprise and Transition by Japan and the mixture of tradition and Hi-tech til today.
20 October 2021, 13:07

Donated the Betty a "small" base aka "Cookie" 🙂
Figures and a small vehicle is incoming!

A nice base is always a great addition. 👍
28 October 2021, 17:33
