skystreak80 Posted November 11, 2017 Share Posted November 11, 2017 Hello it's been a while since iv'e posted on this great forum and while i wait for Tamiya's promising 1/48 BF-109 i will build this brilliant 1/48 Kawasaki Ki-61d Only have these photos for now but i will have plenty more shortly Cheers Lee Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Joel_W Posted November 11, 2017 Share Posted November 11, 2017 Lee, I'm looking forward to following your build. The Toni is Tamiya latest prop release in 1/48 scale, and should be at the cutting edge in design, and engineering execution. I'm also interested in seeing how the Eduard Big E set works with the kit. Can't imagine that the kit really needs that much detail help. Joel Quote Link to post Share on other sites
K5054NZ Posted November 23, 2017 Share Posted November 23, 2017 I'm excited to follow along too. I'm very keen to get one of these but I'm holding off until the 1:1 example I want to model flies. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Joel Hi Joel The Toni sure is a state of the art kit and the Eduard set is just as advanced it will add a lot of extra details such as fully detailed dropped flaps and scale thickness gear doors to name just a few :) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

skystreak80 Posted November 25, 2017 Author Share Posted November 25, 2017 Just got stuck into the cockpit details and fitting the Eduard parts i am really happy with the instrument panel from Eduard the printing is so fine it would have been impossible to paint it that neatly and the pe seat side details and rivet detail where also added from Eduard's set it also includes the row of rivets for the bulkhead behind the seat which will be seen through the canopy the set also includes the gun sight detail. Just a bit more pe and detail painting and the cockpit will be complete Cheers Lee Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Joel_W Posted November 25, 2017 Share Posted November 25, 2017 Lee, All those PE details really are quite impressive. They're going to make quite an improvement to the stock kit. Joel Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Peterpools Posted November 26, 2017 Share Posted November 26, 2017 Nothing like some PE to pick up the small details. Awesome work Keep 'em coming Peter Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Jerry Yagen’s #640, which arrived at AvSpecs (about 5hr drive from me) in mid-June to be restored to fly. As it’s the first one I’ll ever see fly I expect I’ll want to build it! They have Kermit Weeks’ one too “for reference” but I’m hoping it’ll follow. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
