ZM 1:32 Kawasaki Ki-45 Kai Ko/Hei Toryu

Manufacturers and the opinions in the forums promise a lot, unfortunately none of the people has yet built the model ..., many burrs in places where it is better to scratch right away, the colors in the construction plan are more puzzles than logic and should also be used when gluing you check the 3rd step in advance otherwise you will obstruct your way in some places, but if you know it, the kit is a lot of fun and I'm already looking forward to the 12th / 13th. March 2022 at the Sachsen Show in Siebenlehn (PMC Riesa & PMC Dresden Team Show of Möbel Maler Siebenlehn )

Every time I see the building of a Zoukei-Mura kit it's itching to buy one myself. But than, looking at my stash common sense drops in................🙁
Good luck building this beautiful kit 👍

Jens
@Lex Jassies I know that too, new models and always desired models that you've been looking for for a long time 🙂, I can then say NO, but unfortunately not always 🙂 when the cockpit is ready, the rest will probably go a little faster, until I still have a lot to do with Siebenlehn 😉

I guess with this, you´ll not have to break a single drop of sweat when a jury challenges you to put your model into a MR-imager... 😉

Fascinating through and through 👍

Jens
Small update because the Ki 45 is built in a closed manner
for me one more reason to doubt the title as model of the year ...
The area on the right is particularly worrying, the spar is a mandatory requirement for holding the shells, but the pictures show the clear deviation between the upper and lower shells
a few small fillings are accepted, but such tolerances should not occur

Jens
Getting the engine mount in place was more of an adventure than building a model, but with a little courage to take risks, that is also possible 🙂

Small paint update, only intended as an attempt because the colors and airgun still have to be set, I tested the Tamiya Tigger with nozzle 0.2 and an IWATA HP with nozzle 0.3, pressure 1.0 bar, color Grum Gunze Mr. Color C 15 25% paint 75% thinner
The paint is still drying too quickly and the needle itself is still too tight / insensitive in the Tamiya Gun, the remaining amount in the cup after tipping the cup is good for 4 - 5 larger stains, only the flow of paint still needs to be corrected
