Miro HeroldEy sehr gute Wahl! Habe exakt den gleichen gebaut in Manchukuo Farben. Wirst du die positive Gravuren abschleifen und nachgravieren? Ich habe mich nicht getraut. Viel Spaß mit dem Kit.
28 July 2016, 17:52
Miro HeroldEh sorry, ich habe den in 1/72 gebaut. War verwirrt, gleiche Packung gleiche Decals.
28 July 2016, 17:56
Soeren R.@ Wim Welcome😉
@ Miro
Ja das macht Hasegawa gern, dass die 48er und 72er Kits die gleiche Aufmachung haben😉
Der Bausatz hat versenkte Gravuren und ist der alte Mania Bausatz.
Bisher hab ich nur gutes über das Modell gehört.
Heute kamen zum Glück auch schon die Eduard PE Gurte und somit gehts nächste Woche richtig los.

Burkhard DRemarkable skill level for someone who has just built a handful of kits so far! 👍👍👍
7 August 2016, 10:20
Soeren R.Thx a lot Burkhard😉 , but it isnt that hard, with the right tools and also the right guides😉
Now only one wash is missing and maybe some pigments.
Sadöy you wont see it in the end, but who cares 😛
8 August 2016, 16:43
Soeren R.Thx Thomas.
Clear Kote is now on and after some drying time, I will applay a dark wash and some pigments - especially on the seat!
9 August 2016, 10:40
Soeren R.Engine and Cockpit done.
The fitting of the cockpit into the body isnt the best, but with a "little bit" pressure and some Tamiya glue it fits after a while 😄
9 August 2016, 18:17
Soeren R.Thx Ekki
So body is now glued and I need a little bit of filler, but nothing serious 😉
Must admit that I thought it would be more for a kit from the 70s.
Sadly I encountered one problem with the canopy and the painting....
As you can see on this picture [img1]
the gun visor goes throw the canopy.
And as you can see in the instruction the canopy leaves a gap open at this spot
[img2]
I really hope that I can fill it and wont have any color after it in the cockpit, 🙁
10 August 2016, 06:04
Soeren R.I seperated the canopy to show it open, but sadly I wont fit at all.....
Luckily I had a spare part from another kit, but I ve also order vacu canopies from Squadron and Rob Taurus.
11 August 2016, 07:20
Soeren R.It starts looking like a plane😉
Some filler is needed, but nothing serious - especially when you consider that this one is from the '70s.
12 August 2016, 04:57
Soeren R.Thanks Xavier.
Yeah, its maybe a little bit overdone, but like I said earlier, for the first time trying it ok😉
12 August 2016, 06:11
Soeren R.The wing and the body of my Ki 27 (Hasegawa 1/48) are now "married".
Sadly there are some more gaps then I thought, but nothing what I cant handle - I hope! 🙂
First step after that was to put some Vallejo Putty between the gaps.
24 September 2016, 16:02
Soeren R.Thx Clive😉 I really hoped it wouldn't need that much extra work...
25 September 2016, 05:40
Soeren R.Thanks Jay. Sadly this one is currently a little bit on hold, because Ive currently no time for modelling. 🙁
20 October 2016, 09:00
Jay NakasoneI feel your pain. When we were young we had the time but no money...now I got the money (and a huge stash) but no time.
20 October 2016, 20:49
arne vd burgSounds like a problem most of us have . And the stash is growing bigger and bigger 😛
21 October 2016, 20:39
Soeren R.It indeed do. Damm you kit producers with all that great new releases😢
21 October 2016, 21:40
Soeren R.After a long time of absence I had to force me back to this project and started again with filling some of the remaining gaps.
16 April 2017, 22:58
Soeren R.After month of ignoring, I decided to continue the Nate.
The Canopy is now glued (what a piese of s***) and it also needed a lot of filler and sanding afterwards - one of the spots where you notice how old this kit really is......
My next task is now to "paint" the glue lines and find out where I maybe have to use some more filler, but it shouldnt be to much spots.
19 December 2017, 07:22
Soeren R.She is no primed in black and the next step is now to fix some small spots.
After that comes my first try of black-basing. 🙂
5 January 2018, 18:56
Soeren R.Thank you Clive and Stephan. 🙂
@Clive
Me too.
The kit was to long on the shelf of shame....
6 January 2018, 13:07
Soeren R.First try of using the black basing technique.
Not sure if its good that way, but I think it looks ok for my first try.
What do you think?
7 January 2018, 17:29
Wim van der LuijtLooks good to my eyes. Off course I have never tried this technique myself, only seen it in action here on scalemates
7 January 2018, 18:32
David ThorLooking good! Just be careful to thin the base color enough for the final coat. Best to try it on a small piece of plastic. The great thing about this technique is, that the mottling will shine trough the top coat, creating a used/weathered look, you don't see the full effect on pictures and videos, because it changes depending on the light. So better a very thin layer than one that is too thick and destroys the effect. Will you add some other colors for tonal variation?
7 January 2018, 18:41
Soeren R.Thx David and will do.
No this one is one is just for paint opacity and getting into this technique.
On my upcoming Reaper or Hs 129, I will go for some variation.
7 January 2018, 18:43
Soeren R.Will do David 🙂
Maybe Im gonna add variations in light grey, darker grey and a redbrown already to this one today.
8 January 2018, 09:39
Soeren R.Kind of happy with the resuilt, even you can't see that good on the photo, but it looks much more realistic then normal pre-shading (in my opinion).
8 January 2018, 15:28
David ThorLooking good. It's really hard to capture the entire effect in pictures. Keep up the good work on the upper side!
8 January 2018, 20:57
Soeren R.Thx mates😉 The upper side is now finshed too.
@ Miro
You should. The effect looks much better in my eyes and it is easier than you think. 🙂
8 January 2018, 21:11
Soeren R.The walk way is now also finished and its finally time for the first clear coat to prepare the kit for the decals😉
9 January 2018, 21:42
Clive TuckerWell you seem to be turning this one round ok! I am confused, though, about the hinomaru. Are they decals, or sprayed on? What's with the masking around them? Very effective, whatever you've done!
12 January 2018, 12:36
Soeren R.Thx mates.
@ Clive
They are sprayed and that are masks from Montex.
I used the Hinomaru masks from this set:
scalemates.com/kits/198901-montex-mm48166-ki-46-iii-type-100
12 January 2018, 12:44
Soeren R.The underside is now sprayed to.
Now its time for my "favorite task" - spraying the clear coat.....
13 January 2018, 09:16
Soeren R.Thx 😉
Ich bin noch bissel skeptisch wegen der Kanzel, aber bis dahin dauert es leider noch bisschen.
14 January 2018, 19:55
Soeren R.The stripes on the top side are now painted too, because the decals were really bad and completely wrong regarding the size
28 January 2018, 09:35
Soeren R.All stripes are now painted and the next step will be a clear coat to prepare the kit for the weathering😉
28 January 2018, 16:28
Soeren R.Thx Eugen, Hanno & Christian
Zur next step is now to spray clear and paint the remaining small parts
28 January 2018, 18:14
Soeren R.Thx David & Miro.
If I'm able to find some time today, I will put on the second coat of clear to prepare her for the upcoming weathering.
31 January 2018, 14:02
Soeren R.Thx mates.
Sadly the oderless thinner removed some of the paint but sadly nothing serious and easy to fix - thx black basing.
Today it will be try number 2.
5 February 2018, 07:51
David ThorShame, but good job on fixing it. I am using oil washes, because you can just remove the excess with cotton and don't run the risk to remove paint with thinner.
5 February 2018, 12:06
Tim HeimerOh crap! you used the spot remover! LOL, Soren. I'm glad it wasn't too bad! I, myself prefer Oil base paint and acrylic washes since the acrylic thinner wont touch the enamel. I'm sure you'll still pull off a good looking plane!
5 February 2018, 12:33
Soeren R.Thx mates😉
@ David
My problem probably were the cotton swabs and maybe to much Oderless Thinner.
I will try it now to remove it with a brush. 🙂
5 February 2018, 17:44
Soeren R.After some small mishaps during the washing (not enough clear coat etc.), is the wash now to 85% finished.
Still have to fix some areas with more wash, but I think the result looks ok so far.
10 February 2018, 09:00
Soeren R.Weathering is now done and I can finally apply the last clear coat. 🙂
11 February 2018, 16:41
Clive TuckerWell done, Sören, that's some terrific work you've done to turn that model round!
14 February 2018, 19:53
Björn SvedbergReally impressive, Sören! Love the marbling and the masking and painting! 👍 👍
