Japanese J1N1 Gekko

Hello everybody,

here is a Nakajima J1N1 night-fighter serving with 302nd Kokutai based in Japan towards end of war. Its hard to profile black aircraft . . .

Looks good.

Easy solution: don't use so dark a base colour. Most operational aircraft finished in black didn't *stay* black for all that long, or it wasn't ultra-dark black to begin with.

Law of denial #1: pure white doesn't exist, and neither does pure black.

Plus we profilers have the added difficulty of painting on a white background. (Which isn't a problem for black airplanes, mind you).

I'd forgotten the Japanese also had "Shrage Musik" -style gun installations.

Its good to see that you have eased-up on the gradients when you shade your canopies. It improves the the look of your profiles considerably.
