Too funny Grasshopper!

 

Here‘s the Ki-61 all masked up and pre-prepped ready for the NMF.  I’ll be using Vallejo Metal Color Chrome 77.707.

Ready for the first coat.

Iwata Eclipse.

Looking great Toshi. I have this one in my stash as well. Looks like it’s gonna be a peach to build

Good to see you back, Toshi.

Very well done, Toshi! I've been away for quite a while (over a month) and I'm glad to see your Ki-61 at near finish stage. I think it's about 70-80% complete now. Last month I got a new PC, they are so cheap these days. A Lenovo PC with AMD quadcore CPU running at 3.8GHz, 4GB RAM, 1TB HDD, a DVD Drive, complete with keyboard and mouse costed me only 8,990.- Baht (about $280). With fiber Internet connection (30M/5M) and a LAN cable from router, uploading of files is many times faster than in the past.

Last month I also built a lot of kits (total 41), mostly armors, figures and warplanes in 1:72 scale, all without an airbrush:

Good goin' on the paint job Toshi! I do enjoy these unusual patterns on late WWII birds. I think all the Axis powers got a little crazy with the camo at that stage of the war. Looks good buddy.

Toshi, this is your second build with a clear fuselage half is it not? Didn't you do a B-17 in a similar fashion? It's interesting to see the innards of the completed model. Who makes these kits and where did you find them?

Monogram has made quite a few that are out of production but are still obtainable at a reasonable price point.  The Phantom Mustang, the Visible submarine, and the visible workable V8 engine.  There’s a few more that don’t come to mind but they’re out there.  Good luck.

Your friend, Toshi

On its legs.

The paint looks stunning, Toshi. I love it. You've made this one look far easier than I believe it was. Well done!

Great work Toshi.  Another one for the Great Wall. 

What's next on the agenda?

As for the next project, it is a Trumpeter 1/32 Me 109 G6 Late Version.

Thank you mmthrax for your support in my projects!  It’s greatly appreciated!

Yeah, I've built a few Phantom Mustangs over the years. Even built Monogram's 1/32 scale P-51D and put the Phantom Mustang guts in it so the finished kit would look like a Mustang being serviced.
