JohnHaa Posted March 18, 2020 Share Posted March 18, 2020 Roy, Beautiful Frances, well worth the work you put in. I wish there was a 1/48 model, èlas, I'm afright I have to scratch one. But I still figuring how to make that glass nose.... Thanks for sharing your build 👍 Cheers, JohnHaa 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigglesof266 Posted March 18, 2020 Share Posted March 18, 2020 Very nice. Delightful to see another type, originating within and from efforts of the hard pressed aviation industry in the dying days Dai Nippon Teikoku. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roy vd M. Posted March 18, 2020 Author Share Posted March 18, 2020 Thanks for your reactions fellows! @JohnHaa best way to make a glass nose like that is probably vacuforming. It's not that hard, I think I showed how I do it in my Dornier 17 topic. @Bigglesof266 it was a delight to try something out of my comfort zone.. that also applies to the oil canning effect. I realise I have not shown that too well on the above photos. Here a close-up: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kapam Posted March 19, 2020 Share Posted March 19, 2020 Beautiful job! Nice looking plane too - like many IJN and IJAF aircraft tended to be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lupo Rosso Posted March 19, 2020 Share Posted March 19, 2020 Wow! Beautiful job on that! The paint and weathering looks great! Very, very nice! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kampartiger Posted March 19, 2020 Share Posted March 19, 2020 Excellent Ginga,to me the most graceful looking aircraft that ever serve during WW2.Yes,I wish there would be in 1/48 scale too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josip Posted March 19, 2020 Share Posted March 19, 2020 It might be a Yokosuka aircraft, but it looks like a smaller and cleaner looking Betty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toryu Posted March 19, 2020 Share Posted March 19, 2020 Great work on this Ginga. Your work and the pictures highlight another elegant eye-pleasing Japanese design. What did make you choose this colour for the prop spinners? Cheers, Michael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SAT69 Posted March 19, 2020 Share Posted March 19, 2020 Excellent work. I have to agree the airplane is a very graceful design. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harold55 Posted March 19, 2020 Share Posted March 19, 2020 Beautiful job on a plane we don't often see. I have to agree with others, we really could use a 1/48 version of this plane. In fact there are a whole slew of great Japanese planes that have never made it into 1/48 kits. Am I imagining this or is It only Ukrainian kit companies that have need issuing new kits recently of Japanese planes (which seems odd but very welcome)?

AltcarBoB Posted March 19, 2020 Share Posted March 19, 2020 What a beauty I really like the looks of the Japanese twin engine jobs. Pilots view when landing cant have been good though the cockpit is a long way aft and the engines are in the way for side vision. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
