    So the parts have been cleaned up with the file... and now to see if the kit gets binned or not! Everything fits quite nicely! A couple small gaps.. but they can be filled!

    So the resin plug arrived today.... so I performed a little bit of surgery during lunch... excuss the shitty iPad pic's! The cutlines were marked out using black ink, lucky all of the cut lines were panel lines, so it will make this task a tad easier! Using my sprue cutters.. the nose has been removed! It just needs some clean up with a file

    I think it does Mike..., but then google doesn't answer the question either! It would be pretty silly of them to release an cockpit set without correcting the problem.. I know that Lone Star Models set does.

    I agree with everything said!

    Yes Doug, Kobayashi flew a few Ki 61 with a similar schemes... Just happens the scheme that I chose is a long nosed.

    Indeed Matt!

    So doing a little bit of reading last night and it appears that Kobayashi's Hien was a Tei (D) model which has the longer nose. The Tei was lengthen by 190 mm (7.5 in) just after the exhaust line and forward of the windscreen to make room for the installation of Japanese 20 mm Ho 5 cannon, as the supply of MG 151 was not guaranteed by U-boat and the Ho-5 stocks were there in Japan... The Hasegawa kit is a short nose version, but Wolf pack designs do an conversion set. I was able to find one out of BNA Models in Aussie, so it should be here in the next week, since it only has to make a quick trip across the ditch to NZ. So I am going to have to do some chopping to make this fit!... So much for my Shake and Bake build!

  23. Dave J
    Go on Matt... Get yourself a Hien!
  24. Dave J
    Yeap I still have my Razorback too... I want to build it, but the D has put me off for the moment! Please Mr Tamiya... save me!
  25. Dave J
    Indeed! Its about time that I pulled finger and did it! Yeap... Love that Bare Metal, Green blotches and that brigh Red Tail!
