guaguachong Posted January 7, 2017 Share Posted January 7, 2017 this is a beautiful plane and beautiful paint too. i built this one right before tamiya release her new ones. hasegawa kits are still good and easy to build. so i may keep build some more in the future. here are pictures. drill out the exhaust pipes. comments are welcome. http://i658.photobucket.com/albums/uu310/guaguachong/DSC_0376_zpsggoumrta.jpg 28 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob H. this is a hasegawa 1/48 kits, from 1990s i believe, it has recessed panel lines and ok detail. fitting just soso but not too hard to fix. overall it is still worth to do. and not hard to do neither.

Thanks for the info. I got one of the 1990's Hasegawa kits at a swap meet for 10 USD. It is the "George" and it came with True Details aftermarket wheels. However it has the raised panel lines. I'm not sure how to handle it. I can try to eventually build it "As is" and try to darken the raised panel lines or I can attempt to sand off the lines and engrave new ones ( tricky to do ). Any thoughts ? Bob H. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any thoughts ? Bob H. my friend. this is my thought. our time is the most valuable thing. for Ki-61 tony in 1/48 scale, you have newest tamiya kit just released this year with great detail perfect fitting and canopy mask everything, this is No 1 choice. somebody like me, already have hasegawa kits, they are ok details and not hard to do with recess panel lines, and canopy is not hard to mask actually, so still do it. but i would not think it is worth to try to modify any raised line kits unless you have no other better choice. this is my idea. good luck brother.

Bob Henry Posted February 12, 2017 Share Posted February 12, 2017 10 - 4 ... The time factor is definitely worth considering. I may still be able to achieve a respectable appearance with the raised panel lines if I do it properly. Thanks for your input. Bob H. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
