CRAZY IVAN5 Posted March 31, 2023 Share Posted March 31, 2023 I'm waiting for this AND Z-M's Ki-100 along with the Kate that I hear is in development. Happy times for those who build Japanese subjects! Rick Griewski 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No idea on price, but Infinity confirms that the model is in "post production" - which I take to mean that the plastic is done, and they're onto the instructions, decals, and box.

Rick Griewski Posted March 31, 2023 Share Posted March 31, 2023 For these photos I feel the surfaces look not all that great. I do not know what the real ac looked like but this much rivet and wrinkle. I still want one to really see what is going on and I will build it. There is always Mr. Surfacer primer. mywifehatesmodels, Gazzas, CRAZY IVAN5 and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeanKB Posted April 1, 2023 Share Posted April 1, 2023 The Infinity Helldiver kit was some kinda resin/plastic "hybrid" kit. It was plastic, but with resin production values - which at least kept the cost down. On the plus side, had it been 100% resin, it would have doubled in price.

Yeah, I'm not too crazy [well..... maybe] about the "rivet" detail. Maybe that's way I like Hasegawa's approach. Flush rivets just aren't that noticeable on real aircraft they just aren't unless you get right up on the skin itself[ if it's done right that is] I shouldn't be able to see them from a scale distance of 25 -30 feet Yup Mr. surfacer is my friend yes he is.

Gazzas Posted April 1, 2023 Share Posted April 1, 2023 I kinda like the detail I can see on the wings. Those planes used a large wing to make up for a lack of engine power. And diving would have been stressful as well. I wish there were more detail shots of Stuka and other aircraft wings out there wings.

I've never had much success with Mr. Surfacer. It always seems to sink too much for me. The only thing I use it for now is to add armor texture to tank models. Finishing irregular surfaces on aircraft would be a whole new ballgame for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CRAZY IVAN5 Posted April 2, 2023 Share Posted April 2, 2023 Good article , the only question I have is about the 3rd profile [ 9-222] where it was stated that the unit it was assigned to was the 14 Sentai[????]. Sentai is usually connected with the JAAF not the Navy, unless I've missed something [ entirely possible].Otherwise good profiles! Olive grey is another term for J3.

Yeah, it does sink and shrink sometimes a bit too much and it can be problematic. I've used .....and try not to laugh ... typewriter correction fluid, it doesn't seem to shrink as much and is completely sandable. I know sounds crazy doesn't it you might want to try it and see what you think coogrfan, Woody V and Gazzas 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
