Fantastic as always Panagiotis. Name change?

Not exactly. I've had this nickname for years, I should've informed the forum earlier I guess.
Thank you!

Some great work there.

That's a pity you haven't informed us. Now there are two accouts here what isn't needed at all. Just curious why you stopped using the old one.
Since I started modelling Japanese aviation in 2009 I've used this nickname in Greek forums. If it is OK with the administration I'd like to keep my 'Tokkotai' identity. I've tried some times to make Russian or American model kits in the past but I can't help going back to my beloved IJNAF and IJAAF aeroplanes!
Great work!!
My surname is Koubetsou..The Tokkotai sounds so brave, Panagiotis
Good job as ever
Tokubetsu Kōgekitai(特別攻撃隊 "Special Attack Unit") Makes someone think a little beyond..Thank you all for your encouragement!
Now a question about the 2nd detailed Hayate model I'm building..If I'm right, were the first bunch of them which had wheel wells and wheel covers in aotake? I'll do my search but if anyone knows already I'd be glad if he let me know..
Cheers,
Panagiotis.

Incredible work!!, I have downloaded all the pics. I just enjoy watching those little pieces of plastic becoming a Hayate.

Always like to see your work grace these pages, whatever name you choose!
The aotake color rule was kept in 1943 from the first bunch but doubtful after 1944 because of material shortage.
Good idea for your new name, Koubetsou-san
Your surname can also be written like 区別 (kubetsu meaning classification)
Thanks a lot for the classific....er the clarification I mean Shinpachi-san!
Very interesting to know that!Thank you all for your comments! I've decided that my second partially cutout Hayate will come from the profile above. I haven't seen any photos of the real 102nd Sentai bird but anyway I like the look of the different panel!

Some more wip photos here..First thing was to change the identiy from 246th to 102nd Sentai.Wasn't that difficult.
The emblem of the 102nd was sprayed-I hate decalling!
I also painted the cannibalised panel with XF-14 and upon that bloches of H-60 Gunze.Also I added white on the Hinomaru.
I made some cowling panels, a fuel tank and thje radio compartment cover and sprayed them aluminium.
You can see the difference with the kit plastic.
I also changed the look of the gear legs..
That's all for now. Any questions and comments are welcome..
Cheers,
Panagiotis.
