russ c Posted October 15, 2018 Share Posted October 15, 2018 Hi Everyone, Hope you don`t mind me sharing some photo`s of my latest effort My second attempt at Hasegawa`s 1/48 Nakajima Ki-84 Hayate kit Finished to represent a `Frank` of the 58th Shimbu-Tai, Kyushu, Japan 1945 Built mostly OOB, with just some brake pipes, seat belts and aerial wires added the decals are a mix of the kits and the tail makings came from the old Tamiya kit I know they didn`t usually have the flaps deployed on the ground......... so imagine that this ones undergoing maintenance 🙄 Hope you enjoy the pic`s, thanks for looking Cheers Russ 47 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dazey Posted October 15, 2018 Share Posted October 15, 2018 Hello Russ, As others have said, that's a lovely Frank. I especially like the paintwork – what paints do you use (if you don't mind me asking)? How old is the 1/48 kit? I have the Hasegawa 1/72 kit, and it's pretty old (raised panel lines, sparse interior etc.), but I'm not sure there are many other options. Regards, David 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noelh Posted October 15, 2018 Share Posted October 15, 2018 Looks almost real. Always a good thing. BTW I got a good laugh when I clicked on the photo and read the piece about the the Exorcist book.😄 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regards, David Hi David, I have no idea how old the kit is I`m afraid, but it`s streets ahead of the `72nd kit you describe and the 1/48 Tamiya kit I built a long while ago . I use Humbrol Enamels almost exclusively. Cheers Russ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kampartiger Posted October 16, 2018 Share Posted October 16, 2018 Nicely done Hayate especially the paintwork,for once I can appreciate the simplicity of the camo layout rather than the endless patches of wear and tears on others. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greg Law Posted October 16, 2018 Share Posted October 16, 2018 Gezz Russ how is a man supposed to keep up with you. I never liked that plane much until I saw your model. You always seem to give them life and make them something special. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers Russ Because you posted the picture on Imgur, the next post was an amusing story about the Exorcist book. It's no longer there of course so the context is lost. Basically someone read the book and was so horrified by it she threw it in the sea. So the joker bought another one, soaked it in water and placed on bedside table for her to find.😱 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
