Hi All, It seems that I have some sort of weakness for Ki-61. Have completed one this year, started a large scale Hien right after that and could not resist starting two more|: Ki-100 from Hasegawa (now waiting for some aftermarket parts) and Ki-61-II Kai from RS Models. Not bad kit as you can see, but i decided … Continue reading In the workshop: Ki-61-II Kai | RS Models 1:48

In the workshop: Kawasaki Ki-61-I Hien | ST 28 Hasegawa 1:32 Part 4
And a major progress with a large scale Tony: sprayed with Vallejo Liquid Silver and white Gunze H paint. Then with a heart in my mouth I pilled of the masks and ... my patient survived - looks almost like I have wished. There are some areas that require some attention, but overall I'm satisfied … Continue reading In the workshop: Kawasaki Ki-61-I Hien | ST 28 Hasegawa 1:32 Part 4
In the workshop: Sd. Kfz 161 PzKpfW IV Ausf. D | Tamiya 1:35 – Part 3
Hi All, Not much has changed since last update, but these small changes made the model looking more or less like a vehicle it is going to remind. Hope you share my view 🙂 Best Hubert
In the workshop: Sd. Kfz 161 PzKpfW IV Ausf. D | Tamiya 1:35 – Part 2
Hi All The old Pz. IV d has not been forgotten. Just moving forward a little bit slowly, not that fast as with my Japanese projects (have got one more on the run, will be ready to be disclosed soon I hope). I have put the Friulmodel tracks and drive wheels on and made the … Continue reading In the workshop: Sd. Kfz 161 PzKpfW IV Ausf. D | Tamiya 1:35 – Part 2
In the workshop: Kawasaki Ki-61-I Hien | ST 28 Hasegawa 1:32 Part 3
Hi All, Keep on moving forward: - glued in the fuselage armament (Master) - glued in the guns' cover, this will still need some attention, - added tubing of fuel installation in the cockpit, - the canopy was masked inside, - added pylons for the tanks under the wings. Here some attention is needed - … Continue reading In the workshop: Kawasaki Ki-61-I Hien | ST 28 Hasegawa 1:32 Part 3
In the workshop: Kawasaki Ki-61-I Hien | ST 28 Hasegawa 1:32 Part 2
Hi All, Some progress made here. Hope you like the shape of this aircraft - I do. The fit so far isn't bad - only a little filler was necessary. Stay tuned, best Hubert
In the workshop: Messerschmitt Bf-109K-4 | Fujimi 1:48 Part 4
Almost done :), so stay tuned - the gallery will be posted soon. Considering it is an old Fujimi kit, I think it still looks the part. Best, Hubert
In the workshop: Kawasaki Ki-61-I Hien | ST 28 Hasegawa 1:32
Hi All, Bcause the first Hien left me a bit unsatisfied, to the workshop goes the Kawasaki Ki-61-I Hien from the Hasegawa stables. A large scale this time. In the construction I will use the resin cockpit from Aires, resin exhausts from QB and some scratch-building. Camouflage scheme choice still to be made, but I'm opting to use one … Continue reading In the workshop: Kawasaki Ki-61-I Hien | ST 28 Hasegawa 1:32
