Plastic surgeon Posted September 13, 2014 Share Posted September 13, 2014 Finished this one last week. Waited all week for the sun to shine so I could take some photographs.The kit is Hasegawa’s 1:32 scale Ki-43-II Hayabusa that I converted into a Ki-43-III koh.Modified the airscoop with putty, scratchbuilt a couple of exhaust pipes and that thing on it’s belly ( don't know what it is ) of Evergreen.The plane is sprayed with Tamiya acrylics. IJA Green with a pinch of brown on top. Tamiya silver , titanium and alluminium for the bottomside.Weathered with Revell enamel silver for the chipping, Revell sand colour for the tyres.Vallejo washes were used and Tamiya weathering pastels.39th fighter unit markings and number on tail are from a Hasegawa 1:32 Ki-61 Hien.

One-Oh-Four Posted September 13, 2014 Share Posted September 13, 2014 Hi Ulrich, Great finish on this old kit! Sometimes it's easy to forget that with TLC they are still very buildable! Thanks for your posting! Cheers, Erik. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators JeroenPeters Posted September 13, 2014 Administrators Share Posted September 13, 2014 Really cool... Like it a lot. The thing on it's belly is the speedometer. Like a pitot tube. Cheers, Jeroen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
