Banzai!…1/48 Nakajima Ki-27b Type 97 “Nate”, Imperial Japanese Army

by Reinhard Spreitzhofer on November 9, 2020 · in Aviation · 28 ≡

And my dad has finished his next, and for now last, IJ subject. This time the old Hasegawa ex-Mania Nate. The kit isn´t bad, regarding it dates back to 1977. This is a limited edition from around 2005. Decals tended to tear and float [...]

Now for Something Completely Different (at least for me) Hasegawa 1/48 Nate

by Walt on October 6, 2020 · in Aviation · 17 ≡

I as a rule never build Japanese aircraft. Not because of any bias, but just because most of their subject matter doesn't interest me all that much. I built this though to have something to enter into the local Dragon Show. A show put [...]

Tamiya 1/48 A6M2 Zeke

by Jeremy Millan on August 15, 2020 · in Aviation · 13 ≡

This is my second completion for the Empire of Japan group build. This Tamiya kit isn't too bad for how old it is. Minimal part count makes it a quick build. It does lack detail but makes a good kit for practice. I built it OOB just adding [...]

My dad´s next contribution to the Empire of Japan GB. As far as I´ve read the Judy was Fine Molds first 1/48 release, dating back to 1993. So there are some fit issues. As you can see on the pics, the inner landing gear doors have [...]
