Another model completed for the Empire of Japan build. The Hasegawa kit is good for its age but could sure use a modern update, especially the cockpit, radio, separate cowl flaps, and an open canopy. Paints used were Mr Color and AK RC, [...]

The After Moving, “I gotta build something!! ” Model Build… 1:48 Scale, Hasegawa, Ki-27 Ib ‘Otsu’
My wife and I have recently moved from our home in New York to the state of Florida. With all the hoopla attached to such a move, little has been done by yours truly as far as building a models is concerned. If I recall, the last model I [...]
ODDBALL SCHEMES & MARKINGS – Hasegawa Fw-190A-5
