Looks good so far. 1/35 scale? |

Looks great! Only recommendation would be to paint the interior of the open hatch off-white or light grey -- probably could be done by light dry-brushing. |

Cheers Guys! When the Horses are painted I will update (First time painting horses, very hard). Jeigheff yes it is 1/35 scale. dBerczerk, ok I can do that, I suppose the hatch would be part of the interior and therefore would be the appropriate colour, I didn't think of this. I have already varnished it, would painting over that cause any problems? |

Swastakowey -- leave the inside of the hatch "as is." No sense causing problems with an otherwise impeccably built and painted model! |

Cheers mate. I will definitely remember that advice for the next model though. At the end of the day it's the small details that count. |

Fuji? I take it the hiragana on the right side is written in reverse… |

You can paint over varnish with no problem. |

Yes the Decals are correctly orientated (I think). The link has pics of both sides shown. Ok I might go back over that hatch with a grey colour later in that case. |
