You're off to a fine start Toshi, nice work! 

 

Toshi

Here is what was done so far this evening.

I'm done for this evening.  Tomorrow, I need to clean up a few things, then I can primer with the intention of applying the first coat of the Raiden!

Toshi

She's lookin' good! 

Good luck masking that monster canopy.

My plan is to use the other RAIDEN canopy as a template.

Here is what's been done for the day.  Next step is to clean her up.

Here is the completed Raiden and some of his 1/72 friends.  I still have another Raiden that I'm saving that for the Thunderbolt GB in October.  As always, having this be my first Raiden and my first Hasegawa kit, I've learned a lot of things that this community has reached out to me and taught me and I'm forever great full for that

I hope you enjoy the last three photos of Toshi's 1/72 Air Force!  I think it looks pretty thrilling!  I've never made 1/72 aircraft before until just recently, I think they're very cool and of course take up little space!

I want to thank those of you that had the confidence in me to be able to be part of this wonderful GB.  I don't think my skills are up to par, I just need to keep on practicing.

Wow, ok done by this weekend Toshi!!! Very neat! I'll get you posted this weekend and you're free to take the badge. 

Welcome back Bsyamato. And lol I think you got Modelcrazy and Plasticjunkie confused. I did the same thing once or twice, the two bald eagles got me mixed up! Modelcrazy has the front on eagle and PJ has the profile eagle. 

What can I say, PJ and I think along the same lines.

Toshi, a fine looking build of the Raiden , and a great set of 72nd aircraft - intersting size comparison.

regards,

Jack

That Radin is a fat little sucker! Great comparison Toshi. Now you need a Frank, Tony, Oscar ETC to help round out the home defense force.

Recently get a second Piaseky H-21 and started one, if i find i way to print japanese markings i'll add here 

Bsyamato: Gee, not sure I'd call a Me-323 little! You just need a few Kubelwagens to park on the ramp. 

Toshi: Lol, never thought of the Raiden as a bumblebee but it does fit! 

An opel Blitz i designed as gigant meal , already at paint stage ;)

Nicely done Raiden Toshi :) i build the same kit for one of past GB 

Nice work on the Jack Toshi. I've never built one, but perhaps  I should. I sprayed the cockpit of my Japanese 190, but I won't photograph it until I make a little more progress.

Cheers

Cliff,

I would like to change my entry to a 1/350 Tamiya I-400 Submarine:

I don't think I'll have time to finish the bike, but, I will build it for your Japanese GB VI! Let me know if this is good with you?

Thanks,

Toshi,

Great job on the Raiden. I don't know why, but, I always thought it was a much small aircraft. Thank you for the comparison picture!

Bruce: Sure, no problem at all. The I-400 looks pretty awesome. And I'll be happy to move your bike to GB VI. I guess I'll have to run it in hopes of getting my 1/32nd Zero done for it. I'm a slow modeler but even I can't believe it's been ten and a half months and I still haven't finished the thing. She's not even assembled for painting yet... 

Thanks Cliff!

I believe me, I know how you feel. I started several GB earlier this year, and now getting that feeling I have to rush to get them done. But, I'm going to pace myself, and get them completed. Anyway, I'm looking forward to getting started on the I-400. And I'll look forward to the Japanese VI GB next year!

Get back with Peggy :

glossy layers 

Bsyamato, 

Your Peggy is looking great! The masking on the front turned out fantasic! Is that 1/48 scale?
