Plasticsurgeon Posted September 13, 2014 Share Posted September 13, 2014 (edited) Finished this one last week. Waited all week for the sun to shine so I could take some photographs.The kit is Hasegawa's 1:32 scale Ki-43-II Hayabusa that I converted into a Ki-43-III koh.Modified the airscoop with putty, scratchbuilt a couple of exhaust pipes and that thing on it's belly ( don't know what it is ) of Evergreen.The plane is sprayed with Tamiya acrylics. IJA Green with a pinch of brown on top. Tamiya silver , titanium and alluminium for the bottomside.Weathered with Revell enamel silver for the chipping, Revell sand colour for the tyres.Vallejo washes were used and Tamiya weathering pastels.39th fighter unit markings and number on tail are from a Hasegawa 1:32 Ki-61 Hien. Build in Dutch can be found here; http://plakkers-inc.nl/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=2666 Best regards; Ulrich Schütt Edited September 13, 2014 by Plasticsurgeon mywifehatesmodels, K5IKL, leoasman and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mywifehatesmodels Posted September 13, 2014 Share Posted September 13, 2014 Great build! Nice to see this sub-variant. Pretty unusual, especially for this scale. John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_Kevin Posted September 13, 2014 Share Posted September 13, 2014 That's awesome Ulrich! I have one of these kits in the stash, but have struggled to get enthusiastic about it; you're build has changed my mind! May I publish it on the website?

And of course you may publish it! I'd be honoured! Thanks!!!! btw, you've struggled to get enthusiastic...... it took me more than 3 years before I tore the bags open.....had the kit in my hands everytime I started a new build! I started because I knew it would be in my stash for another 30 years if I didn't.... to all others; Thank you for your kind words!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
