Finished Dragon 1.72 Ki61 Hien
Hey, y'all! This is my seventh build this year, fourth since furlough began April 3rd. I go back to work Monday, so yay. I picked up this kit at Virginia Beach's Hobbytown on clearance. Had a nice photo etch fret, but some of the pieces wouldn't fit, like the rollover panel that goes behind the seat. Kind of a shame, it would've looked great. The wing fit was uber sloppy. But it got worse when I applied the hinomarus backwards(almost found the wall, there)! I have to say, I really like the look of the Hien, tons of cool schemes! Maybe if I find a Tamiya kit for cheap....and yeah, forgot to paint the tailwheel
