Otaki 1/48 scale Ki-61 now FINISHED!

[matrixone]

This model has been finished for nearly three weeks and finally was able to get some pictures.

The model was built O.O.B. and Aeromaster decals were used. For such an old kit it was not too bad to put together and I like the surface detail even if its overstated...better this way than none at all.

More images...

Hasegawa makes a 1/32 scale model of this aircraft and when I can I will get one, this is a really interesting aircraft design.

Another work of Art from the Hanger of Les ... excellent paint & detail ... One could learn a lot from You ... I like how the exhaust & gun ports aren't over powered with soot ...

Just recently started the Hasegawa 1/32 of this James, hope it comes out half as good as your 1/48!

Always enjoy your projects, Les, but this is especially good. Really like that scuffed effect you've done around the 'high traffic' areas. Fantastic attention to detail, friend.

Thanks Ian,ausf, and Luiz!

I look forward to adding more Japanese aircraft models to my collection even though I am not 100% sure about the camouflage colors I put on them are correct. :idonno

This old Otaki kit turned out okay but I am really pleased with the Tamiya Dinah that was also recently finished.
