Hasegawa 1/32 Ki-61 "Tony"

[wing_nut]

It has been a very long time since I have posted here, although I do come often and lurk in the background. I have made an extremely rare foray into the realm 1/32 scale models. I scored a Hasegawa 1/32 Ki-61 Tony for my B’day last month. I am kind of stuck now that I am getting close to painting since brush skills are worse than my “tight, irregular, fairly hard edge” airbrush skills… which ain’t so good either. I am thinking of using a friskit stencil made from blow ups of the instruction sheet diagram. I may give the airbrush a practice whirl since after all, I am thinking in terms of 1/48.

Thanks for the comment all.. I do appreciate them.

 

Hiya Jerry. Well it's good to be here. I haven't posted here since the 1/24 Fw 190D-9. Seems like a life time ago.

 

It's kind of nice holding the parts in my hands instead of tweezers all the time. I could get used to this large sclae stuff. I already have a new bookcase just waiting to be filled.
