raguk Posted March 14, 2017 Share Posted March 14, 2017 Hi all, its been a while since my last R.F.I. so here is my latest completion,the New Tamiya Ki-61 Hien. The kit is superb in every way with perfect fit throughout. Finished with the kit decals as the machine operated by Captain Teruhiko Kobayashi 244th Air Group Chofu Airbase Feb 1945. Finished with Alclad Dull Aluminium and Duraluminium and Tamiya Gloss Red for the tail. Light weathering was applied with a very thin mix of red/brown and black airbrushed on to achieve streaks and exhaust staining. Light chipping was applied to the top cowl to suggest its repeated removal. The yellow leading edges were sprayed instead of using the kit supplied decals and a mix of Gunze RLM04 and a touch of red was mixed by eye to match the yellow used by Tamiya. All in all a very nice project. Thanks for looking Rick G. 35 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
