Kawasaki two fighters, Ki61 & Ki100, 1/72, Hasegawa


Recommended Posts

Hi,

Next archive Japan airplane. Namely - two of them. Both made from the same kits. Yes!. The kit was Hasegawa Ki-61Hien (Allies code "Tony"). I made her OOB as Kai 1c version and from another one I made scratch conversion to Ki-100 II Goshikisen (the radial version with step-back canopy and different front part of canopy as well). I made them about 20 years ago, in those times the only one Ki-100 kit in 1/72 came from old Aoshima. There was no Hasegawa kit for it yet.

Markings: Ki 61 Kai 1c is from 244 Sentai (Headquaters), Tokyo, Nov. 1944, Ki-100 is from unknown to me unit, from winter 44-45.

Comments welcome,

regards

Hi Jerzy!!!!

I have had once this nice kit in my hands and unfortunately have had to sell it in a lot of planes as I was at those times in need of money and this one wasthepiece that closed the deal. Now, I know why.

Now, The only one I have in my stash are two old Revell kits, one my godfather gave me as a gift and another I bought here from the Revell Exckusive Distribuitor. Maybe as I have seen those magnificent works you have presented here, I will be saving and one day will go out with enough money for hunt of Japanese planes. I liked a lot the great job you did in both subjects, and really love the way you have finished both too.

Thank you very much for sharing,

Cheers,

Luis Alfonso

Thank you Luis - I had once the old Revell Hien, with opening canopy. I have to send it between people since I do not have it now.

Best regards
