Wayne Little · Mar 14, 2010

next up A6M5 Zero

Shinpachi · Mar 14, 2010

Come on, Wayne. I'm really fascinated with your Zero.
It's so "Shibui (meaning 'Cool' in Japanese, like 'John Wayne is Shibui')".

Gnomey · Mar 14, 2010

Excellent!

Not mine, my friend but I have one just the same!! ...and many more..too!

...and I agree the 'Duke' is Shibui !

Next up a Ki-84 of the 57th Shimbu-Tai same Squadron as my recent 1/32 bird!

rochie · Mar 16, 2010

like it, hoping to start my 57th Shimbu-Tai Ki-84 later today

Tailplane joints to the fuselage stand out but otherwise not bad. Flaps look odd. Is that how they deployed on this bird? I'm definitely not up to speed on Japanese machines.

Airframes · Mar 16, 2010

What Andy said...!

I'm not certain, what I do know is that the kit setup with the flaps down is incorrect for a landed plane.

Looks cool, way better than mine!

Gnomey · Mar 16, 2010

Excellent!

Wayne Little · Mar 19, 2010

The Butterfly Flaps were not normally seen in the down position....

Next up...Hellcat!

Crimea_River · Mar 19, 2010

Not too shabby. Panel lines a bit overdone IMHO but otherwise pretty nice.

Gnomey · Mar 19, 2010

Good work.

Airframes · Mar 19, 2010

Nice, agree about the panel lines though, a bit too heavy in some areas maybe.

vikingBerserker · Mar 19, 2010

Yea, but the weathering paint job is very nice.

Crimea_River · Mar 20, 2010

Agree with you there VB.

Wurger · Mar 20, 2010

With all here.

Wayne Little · Mar 21, 2010

A6M5 Zero, Hikotaicho or Air Group Commander's Aircraft from the Japanese carrier Zuikaku October 1944

Gnomey · Mar 21, 2010

Good one!

Crimea_River · Mar 21, 2010

Well done.
