The Wind Rises - Fine Molds 1/48 Mitsubishi Ka-14

Good evening Gentlemen,

I'm the new one. After a while of only window shopping, I thought it's about time to show something of my own stuff at britmodeller. Coincidentally I've just finished a model... :winkgrin:

The Mitsubishi Ka-14 as it appeared in the Hayao Miyazaki movie "The Wind Rises". It's a very nice kit and went together without any fuss. I've just added IJN seat belts by Fine Molds, a hand hold below the cockpit sill and the foot step at the belly from scratch. The model has been sprayed with acrylic paints from the Tamiya range. Comments are welcome, please enjoy the pictures.

A great model from a great film. You've made a first class job. Excellent base as well.

Thanks for your kind comments.

The base was made of bamboo by a fellow member of a german forum, I've added paint, a decal and some sweat for polishing...

Thanks very much guys.

Looks like a nice build and finish,for my personal taste the pics are a bit "arty" unless that was the colour of the gray. :2c:

I had some trouble taking the pictures due to different colour temperatures of lighting and the bright contrast of the red areas. So I've used a tool to adjust brightness, saturation, contrast and a sharpness filter. Maybe a bit too much...

Are you the same Bodo who made this?

This Ka-14 is so incredibly beautiful and built by someone very talented. Love your work!

Um, unfortunately not... Wrong end of Germany, but a splendid looking Black Widow, isn't it?

It's a stunning build. I instantly thought of it when I saw your because it's equally beautiful.

You are really kind mate. The P-61 is a complex piece of art, the Mitsubishi just almost straight from the box.

@Martin

Thanks for your comment and the welcome. :)

Happy New Year
