She turned out great Bsyamato! I'll get you postes soon as I get a chance!
Neat little Kuogane, the gearshift and parts are tiny!
"I dream in fire but work in clay." -Arthur Machen
Thanks guys and great work Bsyamato. Yours looks like a Tachikawa Type-98 Ki-36 "Kisaragi"? I picked one up at one of the shows for $1. Looks like a tiny jewel of a kit.
Too many models to build, not enough time in a lifetime!!
Thanks guys :)
The Ki-55 is the trainer version of Ki-36 , if you get one at 1$ it's a great shot, this kit is very rare here
rtoo speed makes ugly results, too relax don't make results
More progress on my Nate. I did a light wash of Burnt Umber Oil paint and thinner to dirty up the recessed details. They operated off unpaved strips so a lot of dust and dirt was kicked up. The walkway was masked and sprayed with Floquil Engine Black.
I used some Burnt Umber oil paint to pick up some spots to streak out some stains.
Just need to paint the wheels, add a couple of small parts, do some chipping here and there and she will be done.
Bsyamato: Just got you posted, sorry about the delay I haven't had my PC on till today.
PJ: Looks really good, I love how the wash and weathering is coming out.
The Ki-27 is finally completed. Exhaust stains were done with the airbrush and enhanced with MMP weathering powders.
[View:]
The kit included resin weighed tires. The spats got some MMP earth powder since they operated on unpaved strips.
Most Ki-27 pilots removed the sliding canopy for better visibility and this particular Nate had no radio so no mast or aerial wire was used. The pilot only had lap belts as a restraint. Eduard lap belts were used.
The prop was painted in Humbrol silver and the back side of the blades got Floquil red brown. The tip stripes were hand painted with Testor's red and a 18/0 brush.
That boxy thing on top of the wing is actually a wing camera that was mounted on some Nates. I drilled out the lens part and used a drop of clear parts cement for the lens.
The Ki-27 was rated as a very effective fighter in the very early war years and was eventually retired by 1940 by better and more modern aircrafts. The twin 7.7 guns were located on the cockpit floor and shot out between the bottom cylinders synchronized thru the propeller blades as in WW1 aircraft.
Something happened with the FSM format with the pit picture so here it is:
Really cool work on the Nate also nice scheme you choose
Thanks for post the picture Cliff :)
I'm out of needed color to comlpete the rufe and the kate :( i hope get them soon... probably put sooner another kit in the game
Super work there PJ! Again I really love the dirt and weathering.
Sounds cool Bsyamato- will be looking forward to them.
Thanks gents!
Gamera .. Sounds cool Bsyamato- will be looking forward to them.
..
Just waitin (i hope today...) the new arrives with five japanese planes and let you choose the one to build :)
PJ: Just posted you to the front page!
Bsyamato: Lol!
finally arrived !!!
heres my selection to put in the GB let me know which you prefere :) At the next

Wow, that's a nice haul Bsyamato! I'm not sure, they all look cool to me. If you force me to pick I do find the bottom box on the second photo to be interesting- is that a Mitsubishi F1M Type 0 'Pete'?
Yes it's a Pete from a previous japanese delivery :)
Pete 1
Jake 0
seiran 0
:D
No more votes till now... Going to finish the kurogane and a spitfire then pur the pete on the kitchen table withouth ither votes :)
Well, anyone else have opinions on what you'd like to see Bsyamato start next???
Sounds good, I just picked the 'Pete' since the box looked neat with all Japanese writing.
bsyamato
Great selection of not so common Imperial Japanese subjects. I vote for the Jake. If it's 1/48, Lone Star makes a resin cockpit for it. I have one in 1/72 that got for $1 at a show. I'm sitting back to see if a vac canopy and resin set comes out.
One to one :)
Great score the jake at one dollar!!! Mine is 1/72 too. I prefers to have all kits in the same scale
While waiting nere votes I started the hiryu to have something other on the table :)
Sign in the kit Cliff :)
Mitsubishi ki-67 hasegawa 1/72
Asap the pictures ,already hluedcsome piece
Sounds cool, just put you down!

Looks like a nice kit there- and again you're working your magic on the interior!
I think the English term you're looking for is 'incendiary' though 'fire bomb' works just as well!
Thanks Gamera :) the correct word was near the italian "bombe incendiarie"
more works last night
Nose oob details for now
with some reference scratched three seats for gun operators in the tail zone in place and also completed structures of this zone. Just some other element to complete At the next

Ah, thanks!!! Now that I think about it the original term is French I believe so it came out almost the same translated into Italian and English.
The seats and area around the side gunner's windows look great.
Thanx Cliff :)
here more from last night:
Removed central seat to replace with a new structured one
Completed the fuselage structures with tail parts two groups of throttles with plasticard and stretched sprue one of them here A new IP with the other group At the next :)

Wow, your scratchbuilding those tiny parts continues to amaze me!
Last night work:
Cut side gun windows for opened version, helped with similar european blue tac ..that as you see is not blue :D
Not too bad, fortunately some bad cut are in the removed parts that goes in the fuselage Details continues in the bomber/nose zone the clear nose, despite frames is really clear :) same as the tai gunner position!! More to add At the next

Lol, I use yellow 'Blue' Tack too! I've got to remember your system there if I ever decide to cut any canopies open.
Two sessions to add at the peggy works:
A first way to modify radio operator sectio
Added alluminium foil at the center floor I think clear parts will be show good things after closed fuselages :) Last night changed the table organization and totally removed the original Also added aluminium details to the fuel tanks Today continued works on the Kate too, soon pictures :)
