Hi Guys - yes
another Jug from me. It's the Mexican jug operated and flown by the volunteer
Mexican Squadron based at Le Shima towards the end of the war. The squadron was
purely a fighter/bomber squadron and saw little or no fighter action. This is my
first Hasegawa kit of this - my fave plane - and I was very happy with the
build. Only added my usual hydraulic wires on the landing gear, Hyperdermic guns and
an antenna otherwise oob.

I used Model Master polishing
Aluminium and not the Alclad as I intended (busy with another Jug for that). The
decals were from the box and all went down well with Solvaset. I do not like to
build "factory fresh birds" so as usual I attacked her with my
weathering gear.
A lot of Model Master burnt
umber, black wash and artist pastels on top of the Johnsons wax coat and then
some Model Master Matt Clear only on the weathered bits. Disregard the pathetic
base and background images of my study, but I'm working on a number of
purpose-built bases for my future efforts. Come on guys, we need more
Jugs.
Cheers
Geoff
