Regards, Kent Thanks Kent! It's always nice to find a scheme that hasn't been modeled too much. Kobayashi's 244th markings get all the love.

The Ki-61 is a nice looking airframe. I just wish that Hasegawa or someone produced the Ki-61 II, which I think is the best looking Hien. On 8/19/2023 at 1:45 AM, MikeMaben said: XLNT !!!! TYVM!

On 8/19/2023 at 5:15 AM, Steve Eagle said: Very well done. This scheme is really interesting. Kind of reflects the shifting of aircraft that went on in the Sentai at the end of the war with these mixed tail markings. The Wolfpack set was well done and you did it justice. Thanks Steve! I was lucky to have found the last retail source for the Wolfpack conversion when I did. Sadly, no longer available! On 8/19/2023 at 6:53 AM, RadBaron said: Fantastic work!

I elected to keep the bottom relatively shiny instead of oxidized... not sure that was the correct choice. 16 hours ago, hworth18 said: Another beautiful model!! Well done!!

LSP_Ray Posted September 9, 2023 Share Posted September 9, 2023 On 8/18/2023 at 5:37 PM, Thunnus said: This is my recently completed build of the Hasegawa 1/32 Ki-61 I kit converted to a Tei variant. I used the Wolf Pack conversion set, which featured a lengthened resin nose and other bits. Also used on this build was the Aires resin cockpit set. Most of the markings, including the tail emblems, were painted using custom masks produced on the Silhouette Portrait cutter. The build, from start to finish, can be found at the following link: Nice Tony! May I post it on the website? Thunnus 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greif8 Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 Superb work as always John. The weathering alone is exceptional. I also like the markings and think they mesh very well with the aircraft colors. Ernest Thunnus 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
