It feels like this one came together so quickly. I think I’ll be working on the Ki84 after all. Thanks Sean! Hasegawa always does a great job with Japanese subjects and I've heard that the Ki-84 kit is a good one. So it should be enjoyable for you to build and for us to watch!

Yes, time flies, especially for us old dudes. 23 hours ago, alaninaustria said: Beautiful work mate! I just love your builds! Very nice! Cheers Alan Ps. Do you sell your builds or, do you display them at home? Would love to see how you display your builds. Thank you, Alan! Almost all of my 1/32 work is per commission. But I currently have a backlog of builds that I've yet to mail out. Those are kept in a dust-proof cabinet until its time to ship. 23 hours ago, LSP_Kevin said: Exquisite work, John!

I appreciate the opportunity to share and post here at LSP very much. 1 hour ago, scvrobeson said: It's rounding the final corner, and it looks like another winner from you. Always enjoy following your build process John Matt Thanks, Matt! Rolling toward completion, slowly but surely. The landing gear legs have been glued into place. After the glue dries and legs are solidly in place, I attach the wheels with 2-part epoxy (JB Kwik Weld). The epoxy gives me time to orient the flat spot of the tires onto the ground. The covers for the landing gear and the inner wheel well doors are glued on next The Hien is on her own legs. Only a few more bits and pieces to add. The next update will probably be an RFI!

Thunnus Posted August 20, 2023 Author Share Posted August 20, 2023 Thanks guys! I admit that I rushed the ending of this one a little bit due to all of the new projects that I've been slobbering to get to! Great time to be a LSP modeler. A Golden Age?
