Paolomaglio Posted January 1, 2015 Share Posted January 1, 2015 I finished this kit yesterday evening just before new year eve, It is an hight quality kit, one of the best made by Hasegawa, assembly is simple and precise, no putty required, several parts can stay in position without glue the pilot is the best I have ever seen in plastic, it comes with 3 heads to choose from, decals for the uniform and 2 right hands to choose from, I opted for rhands on stick and trottle since I wanted to pose it in take off attitude the engine is a pieace of art but unfortunately nothing will be visible once you add the cowling The only problem with this kit are the decals: these are printed to a very flat film and silvering is assured for the tail codes, so I choose to use only hinomarus by Hasegawa and used Kagero decals for the tail codes painting the yellow band across the fuselage. Kagero decals are very thin and invisible but also very fragile, you must be careull. Will try to shot some better photos today since it will be sunny, all the above ones were taken with artifical light andromeda673, florin13, marauderdriver and 11 others 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LSP_Kevin Posted January 1, 2015 Share Posted January 1, 2015 That stand, i've seen it before but i can't remember. Where did it come from? If I'm not mistaken, it's from one of the Tamiya uber kits. Kev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paolomaglio Posted January 2, 2015 Author Share Posted January 2, 2015 Thank you everybody, yes the stand come from the Tamiya 32 scale kits, it is not that beutufull and quite weak for this heavy Raiden kit but I filled the base with Biue Tack to be sure it will not fall. more pics soon... dmthamade 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
