Code 3 First Badgerline all Leyland Olympian. New to Bath, she has moved via Taunton to First Devon & Cornwall. This was an OOC Olympian with new white metal front for double headlights, complete repaint and transfers.
By using the generator at Moqi-Q, I was able to generate a vanity QR code. Because QR codes have built-in safeguards against corrupted data, we can "corrupt" the data ourselves so we can put our own text in the QR code. Scan it -- it really works!
The kit and its assembly:
This whiffy whif was a spontaneous idea, when I wondered what non-Japanese aircraft could plausibly wear Manchukuo markings? A German type was an option, and then I came across the stillborn Messerschmitt Bf 109X with its radial engine – an aircraft of which only a single prototype was ever built and flown.
There are even model kits available of this obscure aircraft. My basis is the Amodel kit, a typical short-run IP kit with good overall detail (interior and landing gear is nice), thick material but many smaller flaws and rather mediocre fit (the fuselage halves seem to belong to two different aircraft, fin & rudder, too!).
In order to turn it into something “more Japanese” I tried to graft a cowling plus engine of a Hasegawa Mitsubishi A6M 'Zero' onto the fuselage (the BMW 801 is VERY bulky on the slender Bf 109 airframe!), which worked well and yields a more aerodynamic look. The propeller was taken OOB from the Bf 109X, but a metal axis added so that it can spin freely.
Otherwise not much was changed – I just added an antenna mast, a head protection in the cockpit, the wing cannons with bulges on the wings’ undersides and scratched exhaust stubs and a carburetor intake.
Painting and markings:
The livery is a mix of styles: the paint scheme is a mix of a scheme for an early IJA Ki-27 fighter, with an all-grey fuselage and lower sides and camouflaged upper wing surfaces in green and brown. AFAIK many Manchukuo Air Force aircraft were simply painted all-grey, but I found that to be too simple, and there were a few Ki-46 that carried green blotches, probably the former Japanese paint scheme with overpainted roundels.
For the wing colors I went for Khaki (Humbrol 26) and Army Green (Humbrol 102), but the greenish-grey basic color for the rest was tricky. You find very contradictive information concerning this IJA tone, and even more confusing representations in source material - best modeler's bet might IMHO be Gunze's #128, but that's not available around here, so I went for a hand-made replacement.
Replacement recommendation is basically Sky "Type S" a.k.a. Humbrol 90, but this tones is IMHO much too bright - it's rather a dull, greenish grey, like a very light FAA Slate Grey. So I mixed an individual tone from Modelmaster 2077 (RLM 63; Hellgrau), 97 (Egg shell; which is more yellow-ish than 90 but very similar) and a bit of Humbrol 224 (Cockpit Green).
All interior surfaces were painted in Humbrol 78, with some dry-brushed 120 on top. The spinner was painted in simple black, while the propeller blades received a typical Japanese red primer finish with Humbrol 160.
After basic painting the kit received a light black ink wash in order to emphasize the kit's engraved panel lines, as well as some dry painting to highlight single panels. An overall dry painting with light grey added some weathering effects, and finally some exhaust and gun soot stains with grinded graphite were added.
Markings come from an Authentic Decals Ki-27 aftermarket decal sheet, just the 2nd Hikotai's emblem on the fin was improvised, based on illustrations.

Started making a programmable timer a few weeks back. The Arduino code at the moment is stupendously long and untidy.
On saturday 24th june we woke up, had breakfast and got ourselves ready. Then we marched to our target of the day: the OBA coal terminal of the Amsterdam harbour.
