Kendzior Posted November 28, 2016 Share Posted November 28, 2016 (edited) Hi, All Kawasaki Ki-61 - I Hei Hien, s/n unknown, Chofu, February 1945, defense of Kanto region, including Tokyo. Machine flown by Taii Fumisuke Shono from 244th Sentai. The aircraft has modified radio installation and dismantled Venturi tube, however some device (connecting rod?) previously hidden inside remained. This machine was repainted several times between January and March 1945: green camouflage was removed in January (but some remnants of it remained on upper sides of ailerons, what I'm trying to show here), and in March she was camouflaged again with dark green mottling on upper surfaces and sides. White stripes on wings and fuselage identified airplanes assigned to the homeland defense air force. Very well known Hasegawa's kit, to which I added the resin cockpit from Aires, QB exhaust stacks, wheel well covers and machine guns from Master. Markings sprayed using the Masks from Kagero's book "Topcolors, Fighters over Japan part. 1" . Many thanks for all the comments in my workshop thread, very much appreciated. Hope you like the result Best regards Hubert Edited November 29, 2016 by Kendzior Hartmann52, Aerobat, MikeMaben and 13 others 16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dennismcc Posted November 28, 2016 Share Posted November 28, 2016 Absolutely gorgeous, the build thread will be used as a reference when I finally get around to building mine, though I doubt that mine will turn out as nice.

Kendzior Posted November 28, 2016 Author Share Posted November 28, 2016 Many thanks, Mates - I'm really glad that you like it Now I'm thinking about my next move... this will be probably something "made in Japan", just for a change . Stay tuned, best regards Hubert Uncarina 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_Kevin Posted November 29, 2016 Share Posted November 29, 2016 Just beautiful, Hubert! Really well done, and the lighting in your photos is quite atmospheric, too. May I publish it on the website? Kev LSP_K2 and Kendzior 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kendzior Posted November 29, 2016 Author Share Posted November 29, 2016 Many thanks, Kev. Sure you can publish them, I'd be honoured. Photos were taken at night, these with the white background are not good unfortunately (probably due to the warm light in the other corner of the kitchen... atelier), will probably have to be retaken in the daylight.
