Oh good to know so the fuselage difference means wings also need new mold? That a bit more work to make I guess. The Hasegawa ki 100 is a nice kit In any case


The wings of the Tamiya Ki-61 are not suitable for a Ki-100. A new mould is needed. To explain, the wing-to-fuselage fairing of the Ki-100 was wider and as a result the rectangular "waffle iron" treadplates near the edge of the fairing were moved further outboard. On each wing near the edge of the wing-to-fuselage fairing there is a circular access panel for the fel tank that is surrounded by a treadplate. If you look at the shape of the treadplate around this circular panel it become evident where the difference is.
