keefr22 Posted March 18, 2011 Share Posted March 18, 2011 Very nice model, really well finished! I really like the old Otaki/Arii kits, don't know why, but they always seem like fun to build! Keef Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nick Belbin Posted March 18, 2011 Share Posted March 18, 2011 The first kit I saw in 1/48 – those engraved lines – a momentous kit for me when I got one in about 1970!! A perfect combination of the Airfix and Revell 1/72 and Revell 1/32 kits. Nice job by the way! Nick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CPNGROATS Posted March 18, 2011 Share Posted March 18, 2011 (edited) Wonderful nostalgic build...!!

anj4de Posted January 16, 2020 Share Posted January 16, 2020 I still have a 35+ years old Otaki Hellcat in my display case. And even today it can compete with the newer releases...and if you put some ellbow grease into the cockpit a fine model wil be the result... cheers Uwe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
