discussion Andy T's 1/72 Kawaski Ki-61 Hien (Tony)

[Andy T]

Here are some completed pics of my build for Andys Japanese WW2 aircraft GB. The build thread can be found here

I've painted the majority of the markings and the "squiggly" camouflage pattern with a mixture of masking, airbrush and paintbrush to avoid decals wherever possible.

Thanks to Andy for coming up with the idea for this group build, it's rekindled my enthusiasm for wingy things

Great finishes.

 

[Neil Merryweather]

Simply brilliant!! Outstanding work at that scale..... And I should know being an advocate of the one true scale!

Very well done indeed!!

As you know Andy I am not a wingy builder but I can recognise a well finished model and that looks great, particularly the camo paint.


Andy.

That is really very nice indeed. Great job on the camouflage! And such a tiny little aircraft to!

Thanks very much everyone, glad you like it.

I'm now hankering after a bare metal finish on something larger.

 

[Jim R]

That is very impressive Andy. A very striking paint job, especially at 1/72.

You've done it so quickly as well, superb stuff mate,and thanks for joining in on the GB, it's been a pleasure to watch your build:thumb2:.

 

[Allen Dewire]

Jeepers Andy!!! Shunzo would be proud of your camo on his wing thingy...And in 1/72 scale to boot!!! Top work Sir and I can't see a thing there that I could give you a hard time about either. Maybe next time...............

Prost

Great work Andy and especially the camo.

 

[colin m]

That's a brave scheme to attempt, but you did. Great job Andy.

 

[Andy T]

Thank you all.

I rather wished it had lasted a bit longer. Definitely a sign that I should build more aircraft.

 

[scottie3158]

That's a cracker Andy

 

[Geoffers]

Cracking work Andy, that’s a very striking paint job :thumb2:
