    Mania models 1/72 mitsubishi ki 51 Sonia

    Right , paint pen filled with a thinned green and off we go! The nib takes a few minutes to soak through , its got a spring loaded valve but you work this by pressing it into a hole on the pen top which presses the collar down without pressing the tip of the nib so it doesnt get splayed . I...

    Landing lights now sanded , polished and masked and the airframe has been primed and given a coat of IJN grey . The yellow leading edges of the wings have been painted and the whole thing has had a quick coat of floor polish to protect the paint while being handled during the next stage . Now...

    Cheers joe , have you seen the 1/48 ICM ki 21 Sally ? An interesting kit I considered getting until I looked at the instructions on Scalemates !! They provide a template for you to cut your own masks but just look at it , gives me the shivers !! :eek: :eek:

    Mania models 1/72 mitsubishi ki 51 Sonia

    Today it was time for my least favourite job - masking the canopy :eek:. A lot of japanese aircraft have multi pane canopies like this one ( 23 seperate panes ) and a pre cut mask is a nice luxury . Unfortunately to buy two sets would cost more than the kit so I gritted my teeth and did it by...

    Mania models 1/72 mitsubishi ki 51 Sonia

    Brilliant cheers joe . That will help with the spotty green version I’m doing with this one. The other kit I’m planning to do as the reconnaissance version in the blue over light green scheme seen here From what Ive found its a bit of a contentious one , there not being any photos or much...

    Mania models 1/72 mitsubishi ki 51 Sonia

    Fuselage now together and bottom wing on first , while this was setting I assembled the cowling and fitted the engine . The exhausts are moulded on the front of the fuselage and though hollow arent very deep so they were drilled out . The top wings have now been added , a very nice fit which...

    Stashes and insurance.

    I know one thing geoff , some of the members stashes on here are so big if the house ever caught fire it would be burning for months like chernobyl ! I suppose like most insurance claims it would depend on having proof of the cost ( ie. receipts) , if so then I dont see why it wouldnt be...

    Mania models 1/72 mitsubishi ki 51 Sonia

    Started this ( yesterday actually ) with the cockpit . Its nicely done with plenty to fill the space and a few bits on the sidewalls like throttle levers and magazines for the machine gun . Ive added some Eduard etched belts to the seats , the strange japanese type and painted up the instrument...

    Mania models 1/72 mitsubishi ki 51 Sonia

    Heres the first of the double boxing of the Mania models Mitsubishi ki 51 ‘ Sonia’ . Mania produced a few kits before they went bust and they're worth tracking down ( although Hasegawa obtained the moulds so you can still find them in their boxings - ki51 sonia , ki15 babs, b5n2 kate , and ki 48...

    Spitfire Mk.Vb (Trumpeter 1/24)

    Great work steven , pilot looks excellent . I remember reading about the monumental cock up Trumpeter made with the seat - they measured up a museum exhibit that had the piece of wood temporarily fitted on the seat and reproduced it faithfully! :LOL:
