Iain Ogilvie Posted March 3, 2012 Share Posted March 3, 2012 (edited) Pretty well there - beautiful kit to build - hopefully to be published in a future edition of Military in Scale: Iain Edited October 24, 2012 by Iain (32SIG) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon Kunac-Tabinor Posted March 3, 2012 Share Posted March 3, 2012 Mucho fantastico sir!! Hats! I followed this on your WIP thread, and I reckon she's a beaut!! Nice to see some restrained pauint chipping rather than the usual, "start engine, watch paint blow off" look ( whihc is how I finished my 1/48th model!) The thinness of the kit canopy really adds to a convincing scale look. Cheers Jonners Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iain Ogilvie Posted March 3, 2012 Author Share Posted March 3, 2012 Many thanks Jon - agreed on the canopies - the kit transparencies are superb! I'm a huge fan of Hasegawa's philosophy of simplicity and accuracy and this kit exemplifies this. Only thing that I've added that wasn't in the box is a set of Eduard belts.

Iain Ogilvie Posted March 3, 2012 Author Share Posted March 3, 2012 And more 'wear' at the front - have tried to replicate what I've seen in photos of original: Iain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Col. Posted March 3, 2012 Share Posted March 3, 2012 Very nice work indeed Iain. Good to see you posting something in RFI as a change from your more involved long-term projects. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Navy Bird Posted March 3, 2012 Share Posted March 3, 2012 Beautiful job, Iain! The restrained weathering is superb. Is that an armored glass plate inside the cockpit? Cheers, Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spitfire Posted March 3, 2012 Share Posted March 3, 2012 That looks grand Iain, restrained but realistic weathering, I really like it. Cheers Dennis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iain Ogilvie Posted March 3, 2012 Author Share Posted March 3, 2012 Cheers folks - feedback *really* appreciated! Good to see you posting something in RFI as a change from your more involved long-term projects. LOL - tell me about it! Good to have some relatively quick projects to keep the interest up! Beautiful job, Iain! The restrained weathering is superb. Is that an armored glass plate inside the cockpit? Cheers Bill - yup - a big flat section of armoured glass between pilot and gunsight.

billybookcase Posted March 3, 2012 Share Posted March 3, 2012 That looks very very real!! Supoib. What method did you use for the chipping? BB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iain Ogilvie Posted March 3, 2012 Author Share Posted March 3, 2012 (edited) What method did you use for the chipping? Model primered grey - then silver - then clear barrier coat - then camouflage - then scalpel/cocktail stick/metal pan scourer. Actually very simple. Aim is to make the model look like it's made from aluminium underneath, rather than plastic Iain Edited March 3, 2012 by Iain (32SIG) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greased Lightning Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 Beautiful job Ian, I've just bought Hasegawa's Ki-84 in 1/48 and I'm knocked over by the detail. Your Raiden looks superb! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cracking subject - we want pix! Iain Hey Iain, any pics you have of your 32nd Ki-84 build would be lovely to see. I need to finish my 109F-4 Trop before I start the 84... So many kits and so little time, ho hum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iain Ogilvie Posted March 21, 2012 Author Share Posted March 21, 2012 Hiya - photos? Well - dug her out of the cabinet - very dusty and with broken aerial and entry step - will have to fix... But here she is - built quite a while ago when the 1:32 kit first came out. Iain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
