Thank you Shinpachi! Ooooops! The text is completely irrelevant!:confused: Could you do sth to erase it? I do like the painting!:rolleyes:

Thank you all for your comments gentlemen! After two months or so I managed to finish both cockpits of the 1/48 Hasegawa Hayate kits.Funny thing was that I found closing the two fuselage halves easier in the case of the detailed cockpit. In that cockpit I tried to squeeze everything I saw in...

Hi! I'd like to know which ww2 2-engine bomber looked almost identical to the Bristol Blenheim. I refer to the length, wing span,engine layout and rudder shape. Sounds a bit strange but I'd like your help. Cheers, Panagiotis.

Hi folks! This project which I have names as ''Frank in and out'' will include the construction of two models of the same Hayate, the one being an OOB one and the other a cutaway one one. The idea of a natural metal Hayate was abandoned.Below are the latest wip photos.. Cheers, Panagiotis.

Thank you for your comments and help! Shinpachi-san fantastic work!

Thank you gents for your comments! A maybe tough question for the forum: The object I've marked in this Maru book could be some kind of pipe connecting the cap with the main fuel tank of the Hayate? The Hasegawa kit gives a kind of bulge on the left console.. Thank you..

Awesome work so far!

This is the second Hayate which I'm going to represent besides the other one which I've already posted. As far as I know this must be the second prototype. I guess it should be duraluminium in all the surfaces and the interior including the cockpit. I'd like Shinpachi or someone in the forum to...

Nothing in particular! A pair of good glasses, tamiya thin cement and styrene.Of course nothing comes out nicely -if that's the case -without lots of dry fitting and insistence. Next comes a dual build of the great Hayate,the first model being OOB and the second carrying a lot of personal work...

Hi all! These are the final photos of my finished "a Lily mishap" diorama. It took me 15 months to complete but I enjoyed every minute of it, especially looking at pictures of the Malaysian jungle on the internet just to get to the atmosphere of the setting. The bad AZ model kit with the wrong...

Thank you parsifal! Well, the kit IS fine and calls for a carefree OOB build, but I chose to work vice versa.:twisted: So the last modelling session was a nightmare for the kit!:lol:

Thank you all for the response guys! I intend to show as much detail of the Hayate as possible and this is due to my more-than-sufficient reference material, the decision not to build any kind of diorama but the plane itself and of course to the help of Shinpachi-san whose help with the Japanese...

Thank you Shinpachi-san! Hmmm, it'd help me a lot to know what exactly are the things I've yellow marked.. And the first wip includes the tedious yet necessary riveting of the model and a scratched seat which I find as the only flaw in Hasegawa's excellent cockpit...

Thank you very much for the info and the reference sir!

OK. White then.8) I wonder if this aeroplane took a kamikaze role. Guess this is terribly difficult to find out..
