Hasegawa Ki61-I --- Finished

[MikeMaben]

You've got the gun to your own head Dave , just keep your finger off the trigger. 

(part of the hobby for many of us  )

Well, the flap pieces are done. Not perfect, but.....

 

 

Next is the wing surgery. 

 

[denders]

The wings are on.

 

 

And the flap inserts are in place. This could be better, but it's all learning.

 

 

Some minor filling and sanding. Masks for the canopy parts. Onward.

Yours looks so much better than mine did. I had all manner of issues with mine, probably of my own making.

[denders]

Well, masks are created and installed on the outside. I'm going to print another set to see how they fit on the inside.

 

[denders]

Well, ready for priming or so I thought.

 

 

Since I went and started priming before I posted these photos, the landing light cover isn't masked. Fortunately, a little Isopropyl Alcohol worked great on what little primer I got on the clear part. Now to mask it and finish priming.

 

[denders]

More progress.

 

Black Primer on the underside.

 

 

Added paint to the underside of the ailerons.

 

 

Added all sorts of metallics plus the "Prop Color".

 

 

I'm not too sure about the propeller color but it is what MRP has mixed.

 

More to come, yellow on the propellers, green on the top side, red tail, white markings on the tail and around the fuselage and wings where the Hinomaru's are located, yellow leading edges. Lots of fun. 

 

[MikeMaben]

Looking nice Dave 

[denders]

A bit more progress. The fuselage is sprayed with a green, but I don't like it, so I'll have to wait for another color to arrive. I can start weathering some of these parts.

 

[denders]

Well, the 'missing' paint color came yesterday. Onward!

 

[denders]

Ready for a red tail.

 

[denders]

More to come.

 

[denders]

More paint.

 

 

[LSP_Kevin]

Love the way this is turning out, Dave.
