Kawasaki Ki - 10 mk.III

[killnoizer]

At the end of the war in 1945 the japanese forces run out of material , and they need to re-activate the old double wings from the 30's . Technical they were far out of the competition ,  but the japans use everything they can get , also some parts of german machines what is given by the German Reich ...

On the pic you can see the poor quality of the basic kit ( they have such a super nice box art ) , there are just HOLES into the material, coming out when you sand the surface .  The parts do NOT FIT TOGETHER also .

What kit did you start with? This looks very interesting!

Can't say that I'd heard of this aircraft but I do find it attractive. Good luck with the rest of the build.

I also have a whiffy Ki-10 on my agenda(idea list. Pretty aircraft, close to the He 51. It actually has a license-built BMW engine, so that it could be a nice interwar aircraft with German roots.

Shake hands , i have bought them both together , the He 51 as the floatplane variant . I also like the colors of them, light grey and silver .

Yesterday night went very long,  i shaped the canopy for my other 262 project and made a landing gear for the Ki 10 .

Because the japanese kingdom lost most of their pacific islands they got not enough rubber for the production of tyres . 
Tank Tracks are the perfect solution for demolished airfields and tanks were also almost useless in the end of the pacific theatre .

Richard Vogt of Blohm und Voss worked for Kawasaki in the early 30s. Could have been one of his.

Main work is done, maybe i can ad some guns and bombs later , landing tracks fit fine . There is a weight added in the nose for balance !

Looks like something I'd expect to see in a sci-fi movie/anime.

That is exactly what I mean with it , thank you for understanding 

[PR19_Kit]

I know they tried tracked main wheels on the B-36, bit a MONO-track takes some thinking about.

I LOVE it nonetheless!

Today i tried a clear plastic primer , we used it for the car of my wife , i was not much happy with the universal primer i used before .

Than give her a light grey over all , near white .
