Playing in the Sandbox Group Build Sept 1, 2024 - Jn 1, 2025

Alleycat, 1:32, Kawasaki Ki-100 Goshikisen


Recommended Posts

Finished this one last week.
The Hasegawa Ki-61 kit with the Alleycat Ki-100 resin fuselage. A first glance at the resin gave me the impression that I was in for an easy build. Nice panel lines, no bubbles, nice detail. The stuff looks the part. and that’s were it ends
The fuselage was warped. Tried to bend it using warm water but to no avail. One fuselage half was a couple of millimeters short . Had a hard time trying to get the fuselage and cowling ring in the correct postion to get a flush fit.

Only decals used are the red Hinumarus on the fuselage and the Akeno training squadron marking.
The a/c depicts a Ki-100 of 2nd Battalion Major, Yohei Hinoki, Akeno flight training division, 1st flight training squadron, July 1945
