Hi everyone, 

Just wanted to share my recent progress on the Ki-21. 

All is painted up, chipped, covered in a glossy coat and up for her decal session!

Oooh, thrust me, se will get dirty. 😂

I always like my birds worn and torn. Will do a lot of post shading after the decal-proces.

Nice! I have this one in the stash I think the "B"  version might put it in the GB here or go a B-25.The wear and tear looks very good also looking forward to the end results.

Nice work! The Sally  a handsome aircraft.

Just a little update from my side;

Today i finished up most of the plane. Removed the masking, glued to wheels and props and did some final post-shading and blending. Added the rigging and hoping to finish up tomorrow. Got a new kit in the queue, so need to finish this beauty.

 

still with some foam during the curing of the glue.

the wheels are a real nightmare on this kit, as the way that they are glued inside the wells is just awefull engineered.

 

quite some visible detail to be seen.

 

unmasking the canopy

very satisifying when it's all going as planned.

 

belly, still in its glossy coat.

Nice work! A beautiful build.

[Jroen87]

All done.

Gorgeous work - simply beautifully done. 🏆

Beautiful!  How strong (or how weak) do the main landing gear feel? I think with my build I will probably add plastic blocks to the inside of the nacelle to give it more support when I do my build 

[Martinnfb]

Cheers

When you make sure that the pin and receiver are fitting well, as in the pin is fully inserted, you can glue more of the gear struts against that bulkhead. It will offer some extra support 

I would say, if you treat the model as you should treat a static model, it will do fine. I'm more afraid of the times  I will take it out on display somewhere else.
