DONE: 1/32 Hasegawa Ki-84, 57th Shimbu-Tai - Group Build

[Maglar]

A beaut Wayne, this should be your example of how patience and precision will yield the best results! Kind of makes me think I should take some more time with certain things

 

[lesofprimus]

WOW....

Cockpit looks insane and the panel is straight up tits man....

 

[Wayne Little]

Thanks fellas....done the seat now too...

Again actual colour is....well pretty much unknown? Green, Metallic green/Blue, NMF/Silver? probable options, decided on NMF/Silver just to brighten it up a bit.

One original seat shows a odd very light colour peeling off a NMF seat in a restored aircraft, hard to know if this light colour is original or added later....and degraded over time?

Great seat Wayne. Can you put some words down on how you did the belts and cushion?

Cheers

Beauty Wayne, and please tell me that belt and cushion aren't scratch-built!
If it's any help, I saw an article a couple of years back, where some guy had really gone to town on a 1/32nd Zero. OK, not the same type, but his research had shown that the seat on the real aircraft, supplied form a particular sub-contractor (I think), at that time was in bare metal.

The cussion was a resin piece that just slotted in....painted Semigloss black for a slight shine then drybrushed with light grey to tone it down..the seat belts....even easier Eduard seat belt set!

...and some shots fitted to the floor...

Thanks for the info Terry!

It's that sudden progress stage, when it starts looking like an aeroplane instead of a pile of bits - nice work Wayne.
