KevinM Posted January 30 Posted January 30 I started this evening one of my favorites of the Japanese Army much their version of the P-47 in my book just has that bulky look about it.I painted the interior colors Tamiya Interior Japanese Green 71 very close to MrHobby 23 letting that part dry overnight but I could not stop there.The fuselage builds like a ship model with three bridges that really align and stabilize the fuse.I also went ahead and started the tail,tailplane and the landing flaps the model just builds like many little sub-assemblies!I rather like!I will probably have the copit finished tomorrow. 7
Landlubber Mike Posted January 30 Posted January 30 I love this subject Kevin, lots of cool schemes. Looking forward to watching this come along! 1 1
GusMac Posted January 30 Posted January 30 Watching this with interest as I have this kit in the stash. Received it as a Christmas Raffle prize from Bill Scarbrough a good few years back. Never done a Japanese aircraft so wasn't sure how to approach it but now I've got the Val as well I'm tempted to get them done. 1 1

Gus the kit thus far has been really easy peasy and the fit is tight/good.I plan to black base,silver,green and chip.I usually chip viva a knife just scraping here and there what I have seen looks like the paint chip at seams joints along the fuse wing etc. 2 1
KevinM Posted February 6 Author Posted February 6 I have gotten a the copit just about finished only thing left now is the bottles behind the seat.The two yellow handles on top of the main control are PE from a 1/48 kit with white glue then painted.The AC on display here in the US shows two red and three yellows bent inward.I have AM seatbelts in the stash/wall just need to locate. 5
KevinM Posted February 6 Author Posted February 6 Thanks guys for the likes and looking in Martin that;s the exact pic of the pit I am using you are right one Hasegawa's better kits 2
KevinM Posted Monday at 01:30 AM Author Posted Monday at 01:30 AM This has been moving slower than expected on my part being the kit fits so well together.The belts from RB were lets say a bit of a challenge or maybe I been spoiled by Quintas?I spent three nights doing these belts one night just walking away....The pics I wish I would of looked at one last time before assembly being a little fuzzy.The wing is glued,canopies masked and working the LG's now.I am hoping things start moving a little bit quicker. 4
belugawhaleman Posted Monday at 01:45 AM Posted Monday at 01:45 AM Nice work! I have the Hasegawa Ki-84 in my stash and I'm looking forward to building it. I built a "George" in 1/48 scale many years ago... I was building everything Japan had in terms of WW II aircraft back then... Nice to see your build. 1
DocRob Posted Monday at 02:58 PM Posted Monday at 02:58 PM Nice looking engine and cockpit, Kevin. Hasegawa has some very nice and good fitting kits of Japanese planes. I once built a Raiden and liked the kit a lot. Cheers Rob 2
