1/48 Hasegawa Ki-45 Kai Tei Toryu "Nick"
Although not free of glitches and requires a considerable attention during construction, Hasegawa's Nick represents a model painter's paradise. The main construction issue is the fit between the wings and fuselage. I cut the flaps' panel [...]
Hasegawa 1:48 Kawasaki Ki.45Kai Hei/Tei Toryu (Nick) "Mainland Defence" Kit #09909
A night-fighter from the 5th Fighter Regiment, Maj. Yoshiaki Yamashita, Kiyosu Air Base, June 1945. What can I say, it's Hasegawa. Minor filler needed but that was possibly due to over zealous sanding. Two issues with the build. The first [...]

1/48 Ki-45 TORYU (Nick)
This is Hasegawa’s 1/48 scale Ki-45 TOYRU Japanese Heavy fighter. The kit was detailed with the CMK resin cockpit detail kit. The camouflage was all hand painted. I used the kit decals for the Manchukuo Air Corps.
You can see all the [...]
Finished! 1:48 Scale, Nichimo Ki-45, “Toryu”
Well, it's finally finished...except for the aerial, which I'll add tomorrow, because I'm tired and I'd just screw something up right now.
I used two detail sets by Lone Star Models, one for the cockpits, and the other for the wheel wells. [...]
Work In Progress-Nichimo 1:48 scale, Ki-45, “Toryu”
Here's another kit that's moving along towards completion. Again, a few update photos. Kit itself is going together well. All the fun has been getting all these interior detail sets to fit. Ugh. However they look okay after the [...]
1/48 Hasegawa Ki-45
This was finished earlier this year. It is essentially OOB with the exception of the seat belts, which I made myself. The markings on the aircraft belong to the 53rd Sentai, a unit assigned to defending Japan from attacking B-29s in 1945. [...]
Imperial Defender – Nichimo Ki45Kai Toryu “Nick”
This is the older Nichimo kit, built largely OOB with Aeromaster decals (Imperial Defenders)
I chose the allover Army green machine over the more conventional Grey and green blotch as it gives the aircraft a very different look.
The [...]
Nichimo 1/48th Ki-45 ‘Toryu’ OOB Dual Build
This pair of Nichimo Ki-45s was built with no extras other than seatbelts. These had been in my stash for years and I'd also obtained the Hasegawa kit, so I decided to build these first since I was in the mood for a quick no fuss project. [...]
