Topside…
Looking at the photo, it was clear that the paint flaked off heavily on the top of the rear fuselage but it followed certain panels quite cleanly therefore a similar area was masked up. Tamiya XF-70 IJN Dark Green was sprayed on lightly, the thinner the top coat, the more the Chipping Fluid has more effect and the chips are larger. In fact the level of chipping you see here is similar to what the AKI Heavy Chipping fluid will give. Now have to do the rest of the fuselage. In order to provide the contrast in panels, the relevant areas are masked off and the paint applied.
