Welcome to all of you mates...
Very happy to have you guys around while builing this.. 👍👍👍
To the kit: I have to say that i am wondering why this is not shown mor often.
The kit ist still more than decent in detail for its age and the fit is absolutely top notch and the admittedly rather spare details are very crisp.. just added some rivet holes at the engine cowlings and thats it.
Now Ki.43 and Ki45 are ready to get their dark primer and alu coat simultaenously.

Yes, thanks for asking Daniel. Just 'real life' sucking up most spare time. Still lurking though, trying to keep up 😉

A warm welcome jens and Robert..
@Jan Glad to hear that, and yes the real life is like a never ending nightmare these days...🙂
@ Jens no it has not ended yet it is just delayed for a short time.
BTW this little kit is pure joy, painted it thin with black and without a crum of putty not a shadow of gaps..

Hi Mate, ok i just saw that i hav the first release of the kit so flash is no matter anyway.
I do not know how this looks like with re-releases, but wish you the best for it 👍

Thank you James.. now the natural metal finish is added..
I have to say painting the Hinoarus is much more effective than using decals.

Metallized looks very nice, Daniel 👍
What red is the most appropriate for Hinomarus?
This is the box that I have (Looks good. Apparently there isn't flash traces): scalemates.com/kits/..3-i-hayabusa--942029

Glad to hear that! 👍
I prefer a mixture of 90% H-13 and 10% H-466 by Gunze Aquaeous.
And this diluted 50color and 50% Gunze Aquaeous Thinner.

Thank you all mates for your kind comments and nice words, and welcome 👍
I do not often NMF stuff because i thinb it is very difficult to get an authentic result.
It is much more difficult than colored Camo stuff. Glad that you like it though 👍

A superb finish. I like the difference of texture between the aluminum wings & the canvas control surfaces.
