Ki-84 Hayate AH 1/72

[Katurbo]

Good evening all. After a 'little' break between June and now, Ki-84 has been already finished. Now it's #1 kit on my personal list in 'fine detailed, easy to build & fun' category. During work I had some troubles with finding a photo of real plane so I focused only on gaining experince in painting the scratches.

 

If I build one Ki-84 more then I'll paint all yellow straps, as there is currently a small colour difference between the decal and the leading edge 😪 (but hard to see on photos  😄)

Very tasty (and I love your pilot)

[Tempestwulf]

Absolutely superb, the chipping and grime is on point. This is the next in line on my list too

[GP2705]

Very nice 👍

That's a superb finish on what is clearly a lovely kit, very much looking forward to getting mine on the bench in the near future, and this is great inspiration

What colour and brand of paint did you use on the propellor out of interest?

I used AK Real Colour RC211 as mentioned in the instruction

Lovely job. I don't know much about Japanese a/c, apart from the fact that the paint came off quicker than a 1980s Lancia. Your's looks spot on.

Excellent result. You have clearly put a lot of hard work and love into this build.

 

I particularly liked the placing of the Ki-84 alongside the F6F, it shows the Japanese aircraft wasn't so small compared to the Hellcat.

 

Whiose kit is it, by the way? Hasegawa?

[russ c]

Very nice, the Wildcat looks great too

This FM-2 is also from Arma Hobby (but decals are from Techmod) ^^: 

.

But now I'm trying to build Hellcat (this is the sixth attempt in my life, in which only once managed to complete the model) 😄

[Whofan]

I can't believe I mistook the Wildcat for a hellcat! Thanks for clearing that up!!!

[Bigglesof266]

Very nice indeed. Splendid Ki-84!

[kapam]

Wow!  A stunning result!

Your brilliant work inspires me to seek out the kit - if I get anywhere near yours in quality I'll be well pleased.

You definitely set the bar high on this.
