Revell 1:72 Kawasaki Ki-61 Hien

Post by kruaxi »

Another vintage...
Just finished this 50yo kit from Revell.
Scratchbuild cockpit, engraved some panels and worked to preserve those astounding rivets ! :mrgreen:

This is an airplane captured by china's nationalists after the fall of Japan, used against china's maoist.

Good looking camo job - very well done !
A question, why the two different color Chinese insignia, or is that just a camera artifact ?

It's my model and I'll do what I want with it.
