By all accounts a superb fighter the Type 5 was a Ki61 modified with a radial engine after the factory producing the Ki-61's engine was destroyed. To quote one of my references, 'despite the sudden lash-up, the result was a staggeringly fine fighter, easily the best produced in Japan.' Picked this up cheap on a certain auction site to feed my increasing appetite for all things Japanese. OOB withe exception of Tamiya tape seatbelts and Lifelike Decals in combination with some kit decals. Finished with Tamiya paints. A great kit, and a fine looking 'plane.

Happy Christmas, All! Trying to get a couple (read several) projects running during my winter break. I had pulled several longtime denizens of the stash down, one of them being the 1/48 N1K1 George, which I had done a little noodling on - cleaning parts etc. Started it in earnest when I discovered I had the Hasegawa kit of the same subject in the stash as well. So down the rabbit hole I go! Cockpit colors are my interpretation and I believe the instrument panels were actually black, but here's the action so far: Tamiya cockpit Hasegawa cockpit:

This is the last 109 build for me for a while, still have a G-14 but I am saving that for a future group build and I really need to finish up my airliners. This is OOB except for EagleCal decals for white 6. Here is the start.---John

The A6M3-22 is just about done so I decided to start this one. I am going to get after market decals as the markings for the one plane I liked are incorrect. Q-122 should have red tail numbers with white outline not black with yellow outline. If I can't find those I will find another subject in overall ameiro color. The early Hamps were an overall ameiro, tannish color, until the orders came out to camouflage the top surface with dark green.---John

All done, on to Saburo Sakai's A6M2 Model 21 V-103 in Bali next.---John

I won't start this until next week or later, probably when the A6M3 is done. I am using the kit decals for a Korean War Corsair of VF-193 Ghostriders. The kit is nice but a lot sparser than the Tamiya kit and zilch for weapons, just 2 drop tanks. I have some rockets donated to me so I will use 4 5" HVAR rockets per wing. I also noticed on my Tamiya 1/48 kit some rocket stubs, I am building that as an F4U-1A of Boyington's. So I need to find out where these Tamiya parts will go on my Hasegawa wings. Unfortunately I already have the Tamiya wings assembled and painted, little did I know.---John

I just purchased Hasegawa's old kit 09125 and there is no weapons at all. Do they make a 1/48 weapons set for WWII-Korean War era with rockets and bombs, it would also need the pylons. Thanks---John

Here’s my latest build - MRP paints used throughout, weathered with oils and black basing. Decals in the main are from Airdoc, although the kit sheets provided some minor details. Seats, Intake blanks, RBF tags and ladder were aftermarket. Sidewinder acquisition round was made up from plastic rod. SUU-23 gun pod came from one of the Hasegawa weapons sets. -
I started this back in March and set it aside. I am going to now finish it while I wait on my F-4B Phantom project now stalled out. This plane will be a 2 tone scheme, gray over green. The "gray" is actually more of an aotake color, a tannish color. I am using the kit decals and will leave the canopy open. I have the bottom painted and am now finishing up masking to do the upper dark green color. Here is how the kit evolved to now.---John

One of my favorite WWII aces. I read his book Samurai. He was an excellent pilot and very humane. I am doing his plane from late summer in 1941 China. I will use the 1/48 Hasegawa kit with decals for tail number 3-116. Here is the start.---John

Hi, here's my latest, another CF-104, but this one wears the final scheme worn by the type. The decals came from various sources - Leading Edge, Canuck and Belcher. The wings, MN-1A (practice bomb container) and Canadian style flight helmet came from the incredible DACO detail set. Andrew

There was some extensive filling, sanding, regraving and riveting done, especially on the nose section. Tailbooms ready Wheelbays done. There are still some minor bits missing Almost ready for black primer.
