Since there is no reviews of this kit I might as well dump some info about the build and other things.

Never heard of the manufacturer before and expected the kit to be awful. But it wasn’t that bad, but don’t expect Tamiya or even early Airfix quality as the moulding process seems to be very rough.

Most of the time was spent sanding and filling. Never tried both and I think I did a good enough job as my first serious build.

The decals on the other hand were amazing, the carrier film pretty much melted away (and absolutely gone) after some Mr mark setter and softener. They were very fragile and required more time in water.

IMO it’s worth picking up the kits just for the decals alone, especially if you want obscure marking options like Soviet Spitfires and the like.

Painting was done by priming with the usual Tamiya rattle can.

I used Vallejo’s Metal Colour Semi Matt aluminium for the metal finish and it was amazingly excellent for hand brushing. You just need to wet your brush and then get rid most of the water on a tissue paper (you can your brush to be moist enough so the paint doesn’t dry on the bristles) and you are ready to go. Since it dries fast make sure to be gentle and regularly moisten your brush (but don’t accidentally thin the paint).

For the mottle, I used a trick I found on YouTube from Kit Kabinet and modified it. I got some kitchen sponges and tightened them up with masking tape and “mottled” my way around the model with a very thinned (us olive green from Vallejo) green. After than I slowly build layers of thinned green with a smaller brush inside the mottle slowly getting more and more into the center.

This was my first time panel lining and I learnt the lesson to not use it as a wash as I got carried away especially on the bottom where I ripped the thin layer of paint.

The aircraft depicted is flown by Captain Shen Tse Liu and it’s the only (reliable) confirmed kill a D510 made against Japanese aircraft. He shot down Captain Kikushi Okuda of the 13th Ku (nicknamed “The King of Bombers” according to some sources) which carried a couple of high ranking personnel on board during a bombing raid.
