thanks Aaron ,thats the rider standing next to what is left of his ride ,the only injury was to his pride and wallet.I would love to see a pic of that Daytona car.

It was a motorcycle he ran down there. The car we built was on the cover of Popular Hot Rodding in March of 2004. A canyon carving 69 Chevelle.

gotcha,do you know if he was racing ccs or ama?

 

[Aaron Brooks Wolters]

Trey, he ran in the 250 and 500cc classes but as to the ccs or ama I don't know. I will try to remember to ask him the next time I see him.

Cool shots Trey.

Thats something I never managed to do on my Fireblade was get my knee down. Not through lack of trying tho', I used to go rouindabout surfing on the way to and from work, but each time I was going for it, a little voice in the back of my helmet would say...'if you screw this up, you're throwing umpteen thousand quids worth of bike, leathers and what-have-you down the road for what ?'

Then I saw sense and realised I just wasnt cut out for a sports bike...after three years of having fun on one...and upgraded to my Harley.

Thanks for the compliments everybody and nice Hog Gary,I just ca'nt pull the trigger on one of those yet. No real trick to 'sliding the knee' just lots of seat time ,good set up and real good tires. Keep the shiny side up,cheers Trey

The latest one finished was of Major Tushio Sakagawa 25th Sentai Hankow ,China 1944 . From what I've read the Japanese did'nt officially keep scores of aerial victories but they say this pilot racked up 40 confirmed victories

The Raiden was modelled after Lt Yoshihiro Aoki 352 grp Kanoya Air Base 1945

The reference pic I had of the Ki-84 Frank identified it as being painted pale grey and being flown with HQ Chutai 29th Sentai on Taiwan(Formosa) summer of 1945

The Ki-61 Tony was out of the box decals and it was all in Japanese so I do'nt know the info on the markings

The Ki-100 same basic airframe as the Tony but of course with the radial powerplant. Again the unit info was in Japanese so solly no translator

N1k1-J Shiden Kai,found it fascinating that this aircraft developed from a mid-wing centerline float plane. This one was flown by Lt Takashi Oshibuchi,some debate on the stripe color on the fuse I've seen it in white as the same aircraft?

Ki44 Tojo not sure if its true but from what I've read not a single copy of this airframe survives today. One source accounts that on 19 february,1945 a small group of these attacked 120 B-29's downing 10, 2 reportedly by ramming.

and last but not least the Zeke and my first feeble attempt at the salt method so be kind please

Excellent shots Trey. The Raiden is sharp! Is this for a group build?

Thanks Aaron yes it is for the G/B over at the FS forum

 

[Aaron Brooks Wolters]

Oh, ok. I think the Japanese craft are very interesting but have not ever taken the time to learn much about them, I need to get off my lazy but and do some studying.

 

[treyzx10r]

I was lacking in my knowledge of Japanese a/c as well ,that was one of the motivating factors. I still have a lot to learn. Its been a good learning tool for some weathering techniques too,a bonus if you will

 

[evangilder]

I'd say you've done a pretty darn good job with the weathering, Trey.

 

[Gnomey]

Nicely done Trey!
