Ki-84 Hayate
Hi, using this as a kind of introduction, few pictures of my recent build, i am one very lazy modeller so i won´t be posting much. For now i just want to explore how this all works and questions will come later, cheers.
2 additional images. Click to enlarge.

Lovely 'Frank' - the surface detailing is terrific. Is this the Tamiya 1/48 (which I've heard said is actually 1/50 scale)?
Vedran Kovačić said on November 1, 2017
It´s Hasegawa 1/72 from the early nineties, older issue, been waiting for a while on shelf of doom, hah, i mostly build 1/72 models, and mostly WW2 airplanes, some jet may come from time to time.

Nicely done! and welcome to the site.

Great "Frank." Welcome! We lazy, slow modelers have to stick together!
Craig Abrahamson said on October 31, 2017
Allow me to add my welcome as well, sir...and a nice "introductory" build, too. 🙂

Jeffry, are you saying there's an alternative to lazy and slow?

One hears rumors, though I find it hard to believe, myself. Unless you're Louis or Tom C.
Life gets in the way, from time to time.
david leigh-smith said on October 31, 2017
Well, we all know that Louis and Tom C are not 'real' people. They are different. In a nice way. But different.

You're right Bernard... Life does get in the way of our hobby sometimes. I just get "in the groove" sometimes.
Good stuff David ! You guys rock ...

Nice. The old Tamiya kit? Welcome.
david leigh-smith said on October 31, 2017
And there is Tom C.
Id like to share just how much I'm engrossed in Tom's latest book, 'Pacific Thunder'. For anyone interested in the Pacific Theatre it's a detailed and inspired insight into the politics, strategies, mechanics, and personal stories of that dreadful war. As a devotee of the carrier campaigns from Santa Cruz through Leyte Gulf, it is a hugely engrossing and fascinating read.
Thanks, Tom.

Welcome and a nice looking aircraft
Bernard E. Hackett, Jr. said on October 31, 2017
Vedran, nicely done! Nice, clean build. The kit was a revelation when it came out, and remains so to me. During what I call the Japanese Invasion. Suddenly, there were airplane kits that weren't Zeros. Who knew? Oh, yeah!

Looks great !

Looks great Vedran. The Frank is one of my favourite Japanese fighters of WW II. Welcome to an awesome site!
Vedran Kovačić said on November 1, 2017
Thank you all for such a warm wellcome.

Your Frank looks like the result of a careful and slow build, in other words, it looks great. Welcome to iModeler.
John Healy said on November 1, 2017
Welcome Vedran! That turned out a treat!
Louis Gardner said on November 1, 2017
Very nice indeed. Welcome aboard. I was searching for information on a Ki-84 when I stumbled across this website a little over a year ago. I joined then and have had a great time every since.
Thanks for sharing your build with us.

Welcome Vedran! Nicely done model.

Thanks, getting ready to paint me some airacobra soon, having trouble with antenna.
