Ki-84, with apologies

I have to apologize for posting two real-world projects in a row. I vow that the next one will be a whiff!

This is the (horrible) old Tamiya kit. The hellcat in the previous post (and background) thankfully donated a spare instrument panel.

One thing to note: This is the first time I've been able to make a passable antenna wire. This one is stretched sprure again, but I made a small loop on the tail, drew the sprue through the loop, glued it and let it sit for a while. It's stayed tight for a week now, which is a personal record for me.

At first glance, I thought you had some kind of mismatched Mistel here. Just the angle of this photo.

Nice work on this one. Congrats on getting the antenna wire to work.

Hayates are always great to see!

Regardless of the guise!

I have to admit, I like the Ki-84's look, overall it's such a smooth looking fighter.

I love Hayate!

Your models are really top notch!

No apologies necessary, noxioux! That's one killer Ki-84! I like seeing some "real world" stuff every now and then. Inspiration comes from many sources.

Excellent work!
