Hasegawa 1/48 Nagajima Ki84 TYPE4 FIGHTER HAYATE(FRANK) 10th Operational Flying Training Unit
I finished my personal favorite kit, which is one of Hasegawa's most well-made kits.
We focused on the metal representation and weathering of the used fuselage to finish it.
Riveted expressions are added throughout the fuselage, and all molds are re-sculpted.
Fantastic result, Dagored!
Thank you very much.
Very nice!
Thank you.
Beautiful work on this kit.
I am glad you liked my work.
Nice work on this. I need to get a Hasegawa Frank.
Thank you very much, Hasegawa's frank is a great kit, so please try to build it.
Well done!
Thank you.
Great work on this, love what you did with the weathering
This time, we took great care in finishing the texture and weathering expression.
Absolutely amazing, Dagored @dagored
The weathering, as well as the rest of this build, looks very realistic.
Thank you, it was a wonderfully done kit and I took care to make it even better.
Love the metal finish you achieved. Great job!
Metal finishing is very difficult, but it is satisfying when done well.
Ditto to all of the above comments. Great build, remarkable finish.
Thank you very much.
Excellent build!
Thank you.
That is a stunning scale model, Dagored @dagored! 👏 Your finish is just fantastic work! 👏
Thank you, I am glad you liked my work.
This is fantastic
Thank you very much.
Yikes! That is a wonderful build! Love the weathering and the NMF work - just fantastic. I'll use yours as a model to do one of my own in this scheme and level of weathering.
Thank you very much. The metallic expression and weathering are the areas we put a lot of effort into this time, so we would be happy if they can be used as reference for actual production.
Boy, howdy - that's superb additional surface detail and weathering. Very realistic!
Thank you very much.
Very nice Frank, just worn enough.
Thank you very much.
I would like to just pile on with the praise on this build. I absolutely love what you accomplished in your weathering in painting techniques. I love the graduation Hinomaru color you did an incredible job with the the chipping and color variation on the anti-glare panel is phenomenal. Just an all around excellent build.
Thank you, the anti-glare coating was done using a combination of peeling expression by silicon barrier method and fading expression using ventilation fan filter.
A superb job of weathering and chipping effects. Not overdone in the least. Terrific result. @dagored
Thank you very much. I am glad you liked my work.
She (he 😀 ) looks awesome dagored (@dagored). I love the attention to detail on the nose chipping / weathering. An all-round fantastic result. Well done 😀
Thank you very much. This work is the result of trying various things I could do.
Spectacular detail - your bare metal weathering along with the chipping and fading is very convincing. Well done!
Thank you very much.
I would score this a perfect 10. As realistic as I can imagine achieving in plastic and paint.
Thank you, I am glad to hear you say so, because I put a lot of effort into the painting of the metal expression in this work.
