Glad you followed the Japanese decree in 1938 that stated " the Hinomaru shall remain pure of all blemishes" also the accurate primer used. My grandfather was a maintainer for japan during early days of the war when they were based in Thailand.  You're the only modeller ive seen that actually builds IJA and IJN aircraft.  accurately.

At first I thought the chipping was overdone, but looking at reference images, it's spot on, well done!

really cool effects with the oil paints, congrats for the build.
Greetings.

Very nice, that redish color really gives the chipping depth and character. There really is something special about floatplanes.

Fantastic looks great I love the weathering effects 👍👍

IMO, that's the ONLY way a Rufe should be finished! Well done.

That's quite something....... very nice indeed. Beautifully produced and presented video too 👍🏻👌🏻👏🏻
