LSP_Kevin Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 Ah Matty, so you do build models! I thought it was just a vicious rumour. Looks terrific too! The aotake looks spot on to me, but I'm sure there were many variations in its colour effect, so you only need to be anal about it if you enjoy that sort of thing ( ). I reckon you could put seat belts in if you wanted to - I won't tell the two Daves... Kev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azgaron Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 Matt, a wonderful looking cockpit! The engine and wheel wells looks good too! Cheers, Azgaron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaveJ Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 Holy cow he does build models!!!! Darned fine job of it, too. For the record, belts made of tape or foil are acceptable in the rules of the road. PE belts, not so much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest canuck63 Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 Hi Matty, don't want to rain on your parade(beautiful pit btw!) or be a party-p@@per but seems like aotake was rarely,if ever,used on Ki84s!I went for a home-concocted Interior Green...you'd find my thread somewhere on the forum!

LSP_Matt Posted January 28, 2008 Author Share Posted January 28, 2008 Yes yes...I build models (lots)...I tend to have a lot in primer though and can't build fast enough for my imagination and potential projects. Still in skill aquisition mode as well...always learning and goofing up. Thanks lads...good to be posting piccies again. Thanks Manny...no dramas on the tip. I had done some research that said some early versions had that colour but in the end decided I just wanted to experiment a little for more serious builds down the track. I had to resist the temptation to get bogged down and besides I just love how alclad sprays...wow...so smooth. 4 Rookie... ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Love to see the finished bird! Cheers Manny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LSP_Matt Posted February 3, 2008 Author Share Posted February 3, 2008 Hehehe...series of cockpits... A little more engine work. The fusleage sealed up just beautifully. I needed to tape the wings to get some dihedral and also keep the seal at the wing roots. Forcing that opened the seam at the leading edge of the wing...extra tape and a dose of patience was all that it required. I had planned on using Humbrol Maskol but Hacker sent me a couple of files on a salt technique. I must practice first though but it sounds promising. Generally the kit of this kit is very nice indeed. I might just finish this one eh lads?... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
