Description
My model is a 1/48 scale Mitsubishi J2M Raiden from Tamiya. It is
an older kit, but I like the unusual subject. It is rather unique
with its spacious cockpit and tapered nose.
The chipping effect was achieved by first spraying the whole
model Testor's Chrome Silver, followed by a coat of future. Future
keeps the final colors from sticking too well so that it can be
chipped away revealing the silver undercoat.
Care must be taken however when masking. I used Tamiya acrylics
as well as Testor's enamels and weathered with pastels. No
aftermarket products were used.
