silver11 Posted March 6, 2023 Share Posted March 6, 2023 (edited) Hello fellow modelers, especially those who are interested in WWII Japanese aviation. As you probably already know, ICM has released the new kit of Ki-21 in the 1/72 scale. And another Ukranian producer who specialized in machine guns in 1/72 announced that they are working on the machine gun upgrade for this kit. The work is in its final stages, and the kit should be available soon. And here are a few pictures from developing the master model Edited March 9, 2023 by silver11 Inserted viewable photos 11 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PatG Posted March 9, 2023 Share Posted March 9, 2023 Quite stunning but sadly given the size of the parts it is well beyond my modest skills and even more modest eye sight! Pat. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pat. Hi Pat, I think you misinterpreted my pictures; the bottom is not the assembly of the gun; it is the process of making a master model. The gun itself composes only of a few parts. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PatG Posted March 13, 2023 Share Posted March 13, 2023 Thanks for clarifying but even with the actual parts break down sadly my eyes and hands are still not up to the job. As I'm discovering on an almost on daily basis growing old has very little to recommend it! Pat. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MDriskill Posted March 14, 2023 Share Posted March 14, 2023 (edited) WOW. That is really just amazing. It is possible for an accessory to be TOO good? If that thing were sitting atop a model I built...no one would look at anything else! Edited March 14, 2023 by MDriskill 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bjohns5 Posted March 17, 2023 Share Posted March 17, 2023 (edited) Mini World's guns are like little pieces of fine jewelry. I will be waiting patiently for them to release that Japanese Army Twin Type 89 Machine Gun in 1/48 scale as I have several Choroszy Modelbud 1930s Japanese aircraft models that are crying out for that upgrade. To give you another look at what Mini World's products are like here is their 1/48 cast brass Russian ShKAS gun in a mostly scratchbuilt Tur-8 mount ready to equip the AMG Polikarpov R-5 I have been slowly working to convert to a model of the R-5ZZZ light ground attack aircraft. For perspective the outer diameter of the turret ring is a little smaller than a USA dime.
