Great work so far. What do you suppose that little tab is for on the wheels? The reason I ask is I've never seen it on pictures of the real aircraft. If you do a google image search for Ki-84 you can find several pictures of this area of the wheels and the tab is not there. Here are a couple of in flight pics of what is probably the last flight of a Ki-84 in October of 1973. You can see that little tab is not there.

Ok 2 pics in the above url of the same aircraft do show the tabs on the wheels, but the others clearly don't.

Hello Klaus and Jamie.

 

The tanks are real from bamboo? I did not know that. Everything which I at models saw is also in aluminum. I it not change gave much it to tanks in aluminum.

 

Jamie thanks for the beautiful words over my Englich.

 

 

Here the hood is finished for the cultivation to the model with green propeller.
