Very nice Leon - I like the look of the camo and the metallic finish.
Well done!

Leoš, rest assured that your Hien looks fantastic. Especially the green mottling, you’ve made a very precise airbrush work. Wonderful model!
The only aspect that I believe doesn’t “look” right is the gloss look of the tires. Rubber has that dull effect under most circumstances, other than wet I believe. Thumbs up for your Hein!

Leos, I would say it turned out exceptionally well.

Very good, and the ID band is the correct shade of yellow and not the lemon yellow we sometimes see.

Your "best" certainly is the right definition in my book. It looks fantastic..!

Kudos to your wife for pushing you out of your comfort zone, and for giving us an opportunity to see a very quality Hien! Wonderfully done.

Very nice work on the Ki-61. The Tamiya is a nice kit.

Not sure of your wife's motives for giving you this kit but it turned out very well, let's hope she gives you another interesting kit to build. Maybe this would make an interesting group build - a kit that your wife/partner has bought for you?

George, if we had a GB based on kits our partners WANT us to build, I'm pretty sure we'd end up with some interesting subjects. Not sure I'd want to see any of them, though.

Well, your best is fantastic, Leos!
