Pete, Joe---thank you. I made some progress on the Ki-100 and got it primed with Tamiya Surface Primer. There is going to be alot of masking on this and I wasn't sure Vallejo Aluminum would stand up to the mask job so I went with an old favorite, Floquil Old Silver (Lacquer). This bottle was about twenty years old but shot perfectly after being thinned with Klean Strip Lacquer Thinner. Floquil is very durable and will grab on to the primer really well. There's still a few divots I have to clean up because silver will definitely find them. Next step will be a Vallejo Gloss Varnish sealant and then Vallejo Chipping Fluid because the upper surface OD top coat is going to be in a very peeled state.

Just a small update on the Ki-100; I painted on the yellow leading edges and yellow fuselage band and now have those masked off. The Vallejo Clear Varnish is on and now ready for Chipping Fluid and the top coat.

Thanks, guys. The top coat of paint has been applied and I used Mission Models FS33070, the recommended color for the mysterious late war Japanese OD/Green. I posted shaded that using the same color but tinted with Aeromaster Chromate Yellow. Once that was done, I started the chipping process by wetting areas and then removing sections of the OD with a brush and toothpick. Photos showed alot of the -100s were fairly worn, even in their short lifespan, so I did alot of chipping on areas that the crew would be working and wear the paint would fly off from speed. Stay tuned..........
