Looks good Richard. Hopefully a lot of it will be viewable once it is closed up.

My personal update. I purchased hasegawa 1/48 ki-84 and some decals for it. Now I am just trying to decide if I want to go with a colored pe set or just a regular pe set. Once that is decided and ordered, I will begin; I am excited as I have heard great things about the kit.

Started installing the sub-assemblies together and here is where I am. Have to do a little touch up here and there before closing up the pit. Too bad you lose so much detail when the two halves go together.

Jerry,

Thanks so much. I am enjoying building this ancient kit and it is much better than I first realized. There is more coming soon.

Beautifull work as always Richard, that's a very good start. I just got back from vacation, and still have a couple of unfinished builds so nothing to report yet.

Great work everyone,

Jerry

Ryan my guess would be due to the harsh condistion with the salt air in the Pacific.Digger

how come the paint coats on the Japanese and US Pacific theatre fighters, namely the F4U-d, have a satin to gloss finish but the german aircraft in the european theater gets the dull overcoat??

The pit is ready to be closed up inside the fuselage along with the engine. I'll see if the Honey-Do list will let me accomplish that today. The seatbelts are Eduard and the nice thing about them is they have belts for different planes listed by manufacturer and the set contains four different versions.

Waikong - I like the start on your Ki-27. It is coming along nicely.

Now to the N1K2-J. I got started on my kit this week and have the powerplant done. I have had it awhile and I am sure when it was first issued it was quite good for the period. Since that time I have gotten other kits like Tamiya, Hasegawa and Trumpeter. Even though this Bandai is good it doesn't measure up to the others in quality. Bandai had some great ideas with this model and if it were reissued under todays standards it would be super. I think it is good to regress once in awhile to really appreciate todays models.

The box it comes in is quite colorful and also large being 1/24 scale.

Building and painting the powerplant was fun in itself and I do like the kit that has kits within them.

Now on to the pit and the wings. Stay tuned for updates.

Richard

well i got the interior painted I couldn't find "aotake" in a bottle so i found some pics of appropriate parts, pulled out my color wheel and mixed my own with a combo of a blueish turquoise hunter green thinned a little with future ( i primarily paint interiors and details with acrylics) it gave a good translucent shine like the pics i found. i hope all is going well with you guys. later all

Diggeraone,

I would like to jump in the pool also. There are two or three WWII Japanese aircraft in my stash and I will pick one and let you know.

Looks great Waikong. The blue is interesting. I must resist starting my Ki-43, I've got several others on the go as it is and not enough time... Sigh [sigh]

Keep em coming! Big Smile [:D]
