Guess there'll be the Junior Sets along at some point which should knock £8-10 off, if you're not bothered about the extras.

RayB24 Posted March 24, 2022 Posted March 24, 2022 I bought the P51 in English markings and overtrees. Literally there are enough decals in the main kit to make this very worth it. If Eduard and Tamiya are the best in 1/48. Wingnut wings in 1/32. I’d say Arma are the best in 1/72. They are that good and the level of detail is at 1/48 or better levels. So value for money or entertainment hours? You’re definitely going to spend twice as long building the arma hobby as opposed to day Airfix so yes very good value. 6
Homebee Posted March 30, 2022 Author Posted March 30, 2022 Quote Hello, The Ki-84 Hayate kit is available on preorders now (link). On the armahobbynews.pl blog, you will find articles presenting the content of the kit, details, the first historical articles of #armastory and all pages of the assembly instruction. Today we published an interview with the 3D designer of the model, Maciek Wroński. He is a member of our second design team, and the Ki-84 is their debut in plastic kits development. Previously, Maciek did several resin projects, including one awarded with the "Model of the Year 2016" medal by Modell Fan. Read about his passion and model design: link You'll also see photos of the Ki-84 electrodes for the electro-drilling kit's mould in the interview article, showing the model's level of detail. Test shots were made yesterday and are very promising. We are now making some final tweaks, and it seems like the model will have no delays. Articles about Ki-84 Hayate: link On Friday, on armahobbynews.pl, we will publish another historical article #armastory, and on Monday, an article with photos of test shots. yours Wojtek Bułhak Arma Hobby 2

Wojtek Bulhak Posted April 5, 2022 Posted April 5, 2022 Please note that it was built from imperfect first test shots. 4

Our kits are based on a real aeroplane, but of course we need to start with some drawings. We often start with Jumpei Temma plans if factory documentation is unavailable. But always we need to check any drawings against photos and other sources. The method of comparing the photos with drawings we use is inspired by Jumpei Temma fine work. In Ki-84 project we started with Jumpei Temma plans, Maru Mechanic and Aero-Detail plans. Careful analysis of Hayate photos proved that Jumpei Temma plans are extremely accurate. 9 1 1

MarkoZG Posted April 7, 2022 Posted April 7, 2022 (edited) Because my opinion about his plans and overall work differs significantly from the good PR he made on himself and everything that came out of it later on. Edited April 7, 2022 by MarkoZG

Redboost Posted May 5, 2022 Posted May 5, 2022 My example just arrived, can't wait to my put my clumsy fingers on it. On the first glance all look fabulous, hope the build will be as good as their previous kits. Thanks Arma:-) Cheers Libor 8
John Thompson Posted May 5, 2022 Posted May 5, 2022 Yeah, be careful you don't mess it up, Libor! John 4
Wojtek Bulhak Posted May 10, 2022 Posted May 10, 2022 We have quick built Ki-84 test shots and it came together without problems. Funny fact is you may not need a wash, maybe except Hinomaru, because panel lines are deep and narrow enough to cast shadow (after black basing). Green is built by Marcin Cipierski, NMF is mine.

John Thompson Posted May 10, 2022 Posted May 10, 2022 Both excellent models! Thanks for the tip regarding panel lines, and keep up the good work! John
Taylor Durbon Posted May 11, 2022 Posted May 11, 2022 Airfix gets every time a heavy beating for their panellines. But you sell it like a winner 😄. Anyway, beautiful kits, beautiful builds and I will get one for shure!
Torbjorn Posted May 11, 2022 Posted May 11, 2022 (edited) Lovely models of the, in my opinion, maybe most visually pleasing Japanese design. I hope this will sell well. Edited May 11, 2022 by Torbjorn
