Hasegawa 1/32 Najima Ki84 Hayate 'Frank'


Recommended Posts

All,

 

This is a really nice kit from Hasegawa - goes together very nicely with good fit of parts - wing fit is exceptionally good.   Some care required applying the decals as they are very thin and tear really easily unless handled with a bit of caution.   They do react well to both setting and softening solutions and settle down really well.

 

In terms of my build, nothing exceptional - built straight from the box.  Brush painted using Revell acrylic  'Aqua' colours.   Weathered as best I can using the AK chipping effects fluid (which most likely works better with a sprayed finished), Mig wash, dry brushing and artist pastels for the exhaust stains.

 

Radio antenna rigged using fine 'EZ' line.   I opted to put the pilot in as I am lead to believe the seat supplied in the kit is not accurate - it also saves having to knock up a harness as well.

 

As always, constructive comments welcome.
