"Tall Paul's" JAPANESE units, detailed & painted by the "WARMACHINE Team"

Guys,

––Well, here are the FINISHED pics of the Japanese G-8N “Rita” Heavy Bombers in the South Seas Camo scheme with the gameboard as a backdrop rather than the workbench. These are the units with Yellow stripe and nose “squadron colors”. Notice the “H” decal that denotes them as Heavy Bombers. Enjoy!

Guys,

@Spitfire38:

That South Seas camo looks really great!
––Glad you like it. The scheme really does seem to add to the effect of
“camo-clad jungle forces in the tropics”.
Props to the men behind the scenes
––Well, I agree. And in this case it would be two main people.
----First off,…that would be HBG for making the wonderful units available to us all,…and
----“Allworkandnoclay” is responsible for 100% of the paint jobs on ALL of these Japanese aircraft units.

cyanight & others,

@cyanight:

Excellent!  Love the canopy detail.
**––I’m glad you liked them. These were the first aircraft that “Allworkandnoclay” painted for me,…and I noticed that the canopy lines weren’t as fine or sharp as the ones that “LHoffman” painted on the Luftwaffe aircraft he did. Well, he QUICKLY improved the cockpit frame lines on the following aircraft,…he said it was simply experience coming through but I think he just put his proffesional talent to work on it. I know he’s a lot more proud of his aircraft work since these were done,….and rightly so. “Allwork” is THE MAN!

Guys,

––Oh, and here’s the FINISHED pic of ALL of the Japanese G-8N “Rita” Heavy Bombers in the Mainland scheme doing a group flyover on their way to the Phillipines. Enjoy!

Doug and others,

@coachofmany:

Nice Collection!
**––I also have some SHAPEWAYS G-5N “Liz” 4-engine Heavy Bombers to add to the mix,…once they’re painted that is. They look somewhat like a Japanese B-24 “Liberator”, just different. I’ll post a couple of pics below.

YG & Others,

@Young:

This is really, really awesome work TP!
**––What kind words to say,…especially from someone’s opinion I truly admire.
–Personally I like these G-5N “Liz” Bombers much better than the G-8N “Rita” Bombers for my ‘standard’ Japanese Heavy Bomber.
–Or…if your commenting on ALL of these units, well Thanks. Just remember, all of the time, effort, and expense of detailing, painting, & decalling these units is for one purpose:
–To have FUN!
–with my wargaming friends,…and with people I have YET TO MEET. I really enjoy this strategy game we call AXIS & ALLIES, and I truly enjoy sharing FUN with other gamers. I haven’t been very active here on .Org lately as I’ve been very busy trying to get the last funding for my upcoming Railroad & Military Museum. I will have a venue where all of you gamers can visit & have FUN!

@dangermouse650:

Awesome work as always…… :-) go team warmachine
**––Thanks, I’m glad you enjoyed them. You know, I think the best thing about these painted units is that they’ve probably had a small influence on inspiring others to paint their units, also.
