My talented friend Cwzl made this amazing 1/72 Betty for me. Definitely a masterpiece, so excited to share it with everyone!

Well that paint job is pretty fantastic. The subtle, mottled green tones are my favourite, and your weathering and bits of chipping really add to it. Great model, you did a nice job.

Amazing. Very rare to see Japanese bombers. To think they used these as torpedo bombers....

Gorgeous build of a fairly successful & not often modeled aircraft!!?
May I ask - what kit did they use? Thanks for sharing! ✈️ 😎

I love how the paint job makes each fuselage segment distinct. Also the rivets are very realistic and not oversized. Incredible work!

u/Vader_2077 18h ago

Thank you 😊! Yeah, those are hand made rivets!
