Corsairfoxfouruncle Posted July 10, 2020 Posted July 10, 2020 Hello everyone... Hoping its a good Friday morning and everyone is Safe and Healthy ? Id like to present to you one of the five completed builds this week. This one was for the Journey’s end group build, and is the first WW2 Japanese aircraft I have built since the mid 1980’s. It is the Tamiya 1/72 Kawasaki Ki.61 Hien in the markings of 2nd Lieutenant Shinzo Takashima of the 244th Fighter group (Sentai). Its a beautiful kit that requires almost no filler, what little I used is more likely related to my construction than the kits design. Please feel free to ask questions, post comments, and or add thoughts. I will add the link to the build if anyone would like to view it. https://www.britmodeller.com/forums/index.php?/topic/235072249-tony-the-mistaken-italian/ Dennis 25

Thanks guys ... Wish I could take credit for that but those are the Tamiya Mottle Camouflage decals designed for the kit. They're a great little bit of kit that you can get extra for a few $ more. 2
kapam Posted July 10, 2020 Posted July 10, 2020 Very nice indeed! They say this is a kit that is well worth the price (and my preferred scale of 1/72). Your result certainly inspires. Well done. 👍👍 1
Epeeman Posted July 10, 2020 Posted July 10, 2020 Hello, mate - Lovely little model you have created there - good work on mottle camoflage effect as I guess that was tricky to do. Regards Dave 1
billn53 Posted July 10, 2020 Posted July 10, 2020 It is a lovely kit and builds up effortlessly. Yours looks great! 1
