Juggernut Posted February 15, 2009 Share Posted February 15, 2009 Got some in progress photos of my next project, a New Guniea based Ki-61-1 Koh. I'm planning on stock decals but may need to source fuselage hinomarus because the kit decals seem just a bit out of register. It may be my eye though... First shot is the left sidewall with some solder and copper wire thrown in for good measure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juggernut Posted February 15, 2009 Share Posted February 15, 2009 Second shot is of the right sidewall...some bits added to liven things up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juggernut Posted February 15, 2009 Share Posted February 15, 2009 Third shot. I added some plastic tubing (rod actually) for the coolant and fuel lines and a slightly larger rod for the elevator linkage. I also thinned the pilot seat as it was just a tad on the thick side as it comes in the kit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juggernut Posted February 15, 2009 Share Posted February 15, 2009 I added some details to the guns and the gun bay in this shot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juggernut Posted February 15, 2009 Share Posted February 15, 2009 Here's a final shot with the cockpit installed in the kit. Not a bad start but nowhere near Radu's Ki-61 cockpit detail. I might, at some point, order that cockpit separately and go for an all out super Ki....Oh well, that's it for today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LSP_Mike Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 UH, I looked again,Tim. You, and Jeff both have great looking pits. How are you going to paint this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bcauchi Posted February 20, 2009 Share Posted February 20, 2009 Brilliant work on the pit. The detail and painting is really looking good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juggernut Posted February 22, 2009 Share Posted February 22, 2009 Thanks for the kind words all. UH, I looked again,Tim. You, and Jeff both have great looking pits. How are you going to paint this? Mike: The aircraft I'm modeling is one of the 61's based on New Guniea in 1943, 68th Sentai to be exact. The camo pattern is really just a hodgepodge of green, sprayed in random lines and splotches over the entire upper surfaces of the aircraft. The base coat is going to be NMF though. At this point, the aircraft is assembled, seams filled and sanded where necessary and I'm giving it the once over with the Mk. I eyeball so that I can find any scratches/seams that didn't get addressed adequately the first time through. I'll prime it and recheck, then attempt (with emphasis added) to spray the NMF using Alclad (but not polished aluminum...). No sense posting photos of a blob of plastic that hasn't gotten any redeeming qualities to it. I'll post some as I get the color coats on it and then some finals of the completed aircraft.

bdthoresen Posted February 22, 2009 Share Posted February 22, 2009 I love the Tony, Tim- I am working one one right now as well- My cat knocked over a bottle of tenax one the cockpit floor piece while it was laying on my bench, so I made a new one- I am getting ready to paint it right now..... Please keep it up! THOR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juggernut Posted March 4, 2009 Share Posted March 4, 2009 Here's one of the main landing gear. The picture isn't as good as I would've liked but it's ok. I've added brake lines and a dirty brown wash to the aluminum painted landing gear struts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
