Ki-61 Hien [Tamiya 1/48]

[Rémi]

Hi all

 

After the Mig 25, I choosed to exist of my stach a different subject.
This time, I decided to go to Japan and build the beautifull Ki-61 Hien Tamiya kit.

 

 

Like all Tamlya kit, it is very well engenired.

The try fit show me that it is possible to not glu the wing before the paint.

I decided to assemble and paint the fuselage and the wing seperatly and assemble them after the paint.

 

My build start with the cockpit.
It is very well detailled and it not need some adds

I use the H66 GUnze paint and add a little weathering.

 

 

 

 

 

I choosed to paint the insignia marks

I use the help of a silhouet printer to make the mask

I painted the tail in red using the Tamiya paint

 

 

 

For the rest of the fuselage, I used the Vallejo aluminium paint.

THis paint have the great advantage of being dilluted with water.

Now I can start the challenge of the kit : the green spots.

I use the C310 Gunze paint but after I spray it, I think this paint is to lighter.

But this paint used by Hasegawa for his kit
