Hasegawa's 1/48 scale
Kawasaki Ki-61

by Michel Gruson

Hasegawa's 1/48 scale Ki-61 is available online from Squadron

Here are some photos of my Hasegawa 1/48 scale Ki-61.

To improve the kit, I upgraded the undercarriage.

The radiator inlet was detailed with stretched sprue.

The radiator flap was made from sheet aluminum.

Rub N Buff was used for the bare metal finish. The six white "bandages" were masked and sprayed before mottling with a mixture of green XF 71 and light gray.

The chosen decoration is the one of N ° 43 of 244 sentai. Markings came from  Lifelike decals Ref: 48-003 and Montex Mask Réf:K4819.
