Morning Marcus, @mvtb

Marcus excellent work on your Ki-100. The markings look great, can’t wait to see you next update. I’ve always thought that the Ki-100, the Ki-84 Frank and the N1K2-J George were the

best “looking” Japanese fighters. I’ve never built a Frank, may have to correct that 🙂

Louis, @lgardner

Hey Louis. I haven’t forgotten that I owe you a PM, I promise I’ll get to it. Be well.

Hi Louis,

glad to have you back my friend.All the best.

Rick,

soon the undersurfaces silver will be on...I will keep on posting both KI-100 and Kyofu together...

George,

thank you!

HI Marcus @mvtb!

Those painted Hinomarus will make a difference to the appearance of your model, which looked a winner even before (by the way, resurrecting unfinished kits under great motivations, such as this EoJ groupbuild, solving their problems or damages and finally finish them is for me a magic part of our hobby).

Oh, I must too buy a circle cutter someday, Louis @lgardner...

Waiting for your updates, Marcus!

Just a word on circle cutters for @lgardner and @fiveten - It looks like the version @mvbt has here is OK - I have one, but bought mine to cheap. I do not recall the brand right now, but I shall be on the lookout for a better one too. Sorry to intrude on your thread - looking forward to the next post here though!

Thanks for your company guys.

The Vallejo ModelAir worked fine today,just a few drops of water and undersides are done.I pretend to polish a bit using an old cotton rag later :

Please note bad panel lines underneath,which will be dealt later by soft scribing and a pencil...

Nice and shiny!
Looks terrific, @mvtb!

Painted Hinomarus looking great, @mvtb!
Louis Gardner said 4 years, 5 months ago:

Your Ki-100 looks very good. Painted on markings almost always look better than a decal, and this build is no exception. I also like the wooden sticks for temporary landing gear. I occasionally do the same...

Tks Spiros and Louis!
Erik Gjørup said 4 years, 5 months ago:

Very cool finish!
George Henderson said 4 years, 5 months ago:

Nice work on a recovered model. I have two circle cutters. One similar to yours and I just purchased another from here...http://www.shadowhobby.com/tlcc-000-thinnerline-circle-cutter.html
