The Tachikawa Ki-9 I came across on some blog by some guy who I can't find after looking for it. His dad took some pictures of these abandoned Japanese aircraft. I think he mentioned it was in South Korea. He made one and put a seal over the rear pilot seat as it is in the picture. That's his dad in the photos. I though it was a cool idea for a build so I made mine with slight differences. I took the liberty of putting a "7" on mine and put a barrel in the rear seat instead of sealing it up.

The second completed aircraft is from an illustration from the Eduardo Cea book Tokubbetsu Kogeki Tai Special Attack Units JMA #8: Japanese Military Aircraft (2012). I also ran across a video on the same aircraft which was something I wasn't aware of until I had built it. I found a scratch bomb and the decals came from two different sheets. The aircraft is from the Ryuko Tai "Dragons and Tigers" based at Miyako Shima July 1945

I have two more biplanes scheduled for my builds.

Nice rigging job on that Japanese biplane. I have the Sabre jet sprayed gloss aluminum with yellow trim, ready to decal then add wheels.

This is one of my favorite jets. I do have two Canadair Sabres (with Luftwaffe) markings in 1/48. Beautiful jet! I love the aluminum!

Nice work!!

 

[Vic Balshaw]

Possibly a trick of light but the right decal as I'm looking at it seems to have bedded in very nicely.

Actually they both have bedded down good.
