Thank you, Gentlemen. It's good to see you. I have occasionally seen this project mentioned elsewhere when a type 10 in 1/72 comes up. That's part of why I finally decided to finish it.
Here is how things stand now:
Since the Spanish re-paint got me out of a jam on the under surface, I redid the uppers as well, in a more olive green (an old Pollyscale remnant I believe was 'French Khaki'). Once decals were on, a good pray of Tamiya matte.
Demarcations were touched up in the process.
Exhausts have been put in, just little bits of 0.75mm round. There's some slips of their color here and there need touching up.
I have two A-Model I-16 decal sheets, and they are a treat. One subject is a CM-125, and with four of these I could piece together the CM-225 serial. These provided the rudder striping as well. Because the A-Model kit is huskier over-all, I expected these to be a bit over-size for an ICM's rudder, but they were undersized, and I had to bolster the purple field with a piece of another rudder decal. The cadmium red tube acrylic used for the markings seems a fortuitous match for the decal red.
I have the undercarriage bits painted. Once that touchings up are done, more Tamiya matte spray and then it will time for propeller and windscreen.
