TonyOD Posted August 10, 2021 Share Posted August 10, 2021 (edited) Courtesy of Mr @2996 Victor I have recently come by the frankly quite sexy 1/72 Tamiya Kawasaki Ki-61 Hien "Tony". This build quite literally has my name on it! I hope to be able to pitch it at the GB next year. Edited August 10, 2021 by TonyOD 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By all accounts, it's a great kit (I've got a couple more in my stash to build with some Avalon decals). Beware interior colours, though - I believe the instructions are misleading. Nick Millman's Aviation of Japan site is full of great info, and I've got some emails where he's given me the correct colours. It seems to depend on whether the aircraft you portray left the factory in NMF or was factory-camouflaged. Cheers, Mark 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I splurged and bought the camouflage Mottle decals when I bought mine and that worked nicely as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milo Posted August 14, 2021 Share Posted August 14, 2021 Hello all. Milo here, long time listener, first time caller. I think I'll give this GB a try. Lots to choose from! I'm looking forward to the start. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm looking forward to the start. Welcome aboard. We are still a little ways off on this one, as we need to get through the November bunfight to get on next years calendar. Make sure to pitch in your vote when it comes time in November. So many options to choose from be it military, civilian, sci-fi, or others. I know I'm going to have a hard time narrowing it down to just one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One word of warning though....GB's can become VERY addictive!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dazzio Posted August 15, 2021 Share Posted August 15, 2021 How on earth have I missed this one for so long?! Well checking my stash, I think about 85% of it falls into the 3rd Category. Count me in! Thinking the ND-001 Nadesico or possibly something funky from Macross/Gundam... hhmm... Kind regards, Dazz 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kind regards, Dazz if you're like me I try to avoid looking at future builds.... mostly because I'll want to join in, and I way over commit myself most of the time! But welcome to the list....... which I haven't updated for ages! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Tucker Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 I have 6 or 7 different kits that would fit the bill here including the Manshu KI79B (picture below to save you googling... I hadn't heard of it either! ). Count me in! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trickyrich Posted September 3, 2021 Author Share Posted September 3, 2021 now that's a bit different, nice and colourful, would be great to see in the build. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
helios16v Posted November 1, 2021 Share Posted November 1, 2021 Don't forget to get your votes in! Lots of subject material...including non-military. A little Eagle action for @Col. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chrisj2003 Posted November 4, 2021 Share Posted November 4, 2021 Hmmm, may have to another JASDF rhino. Not much change of a Belgian starfighter. Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This GB was going to be an excuse for me buying at least one motorbike kit but then there is an F-15J and two DJ Aggressor kits along with a couple F-4EJ already in the stash so either way it's all good Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Evil_Toast_RSA Posted November 15, 2021 Share Posted November 15, 2021 Well, now that this made it my busy few months of securing second hand bargains is paying off! What to build though? Choices in no particular order: 1) Hasegawa 1/48 A6M2 Zero (Pearl Harbour markings) 2) Hasegawa 1/48 Ki84-1 Hayate 3) Hasegawa 1/48 Mitsubishi F-2 4) Hasegawa 1/72 G4M2 Betty 5) Tamiya 1/48 M6A1 Seiran 6) A distant possibility, Hasegawa 1/48 F-104. Might use this in the Century Series GB though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Volksjager Posted November 15, 2021 Share Posted November 15, 2021 Well I reckon if I am going to try a GB for the first time this one is my jam so I am in. Have a ton of Japanese aircraft to choose from so will look forward to getting started when it all kicks off 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marlin Posted November 15, 2021 Share Posted November 15, 2021 Great that this one went through the bunfight with enough support. Now I'm just hoping that it will fit into my Calender for 2022. i.e. not between April - September 2022. We're evacuating our flat for renovation next spring/summer and I'll have to pack everything up for this and will not be able to build during the renovation period. /Bosse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArnoldAmbrose Posted November 15, 2021 Share Posted November 15, 2021 Gidday, ships are my thing. I've got a few in the stash, I'll have to drag them out. The time frame will have a bit of a bearing on my choice, depending on what else is happening at the time. Regards, Jeff. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TonyOD Posted November 15, 2021 Share Posted November 15, 2021 Congrats on making it through, and in fine style. I remain committed to my "Tony", but might also throw in a "Kate" or a "Hickory". 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psdavidson Posted November 15, 2021 Share Posted November 15, 2021 I'm here with a refugee from the Emergency GB which didn't make it Depending on the calendar, this is planned or possibly something a bit different This was a quick one planned for the Not My Comfort Zone so I may do it here as well /p 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
