Re: Empire of the Rising Sun Group Build

I do have the a, b, and c variants, one of my Hasegawa Type 52's has the parts for the a and b and I have a Tamiya kit for the c. Not too sure the S with the oblique cannon has been kitted, but I think it was a field modification of an a or b and I will give up trying to do all the field mods! Also,...

Re: Ark Models Mig-3

Nice save, Tom. I have 5 of the ICM MIG 3 kits in case anyone here just has to have one, three kit numbers, 48051, 48051, and 48025. All but the one ending in one have several figures in them. I think at one time they were as cheap as the first ICM Spitfires. I haven't built any of them yet so I don...

Re: Empire of the Rising Sun Group Build

Thanks, everyone for all the nice comments. Still have the A6M3 type 22, A6M5, A6M7, and A6M8 to go in 1/48.

Re: Empire of the Rising Sun Group Build

Chris, I don't think there is any right way to do it but it wasn't too bad with the floats on, other than being careful to not knock off the tip floats. Here are a couple of near finished pictures. I want to finish up the Kubota tractor so it can be in the final photos with the Rufe, and I want to w...

Re: Empire of the Rising Sun Group Build

A bit more on the Rufe, some markings painted on. I'm going to weasel out and use decals for the remainder.

Re: Latest Acquesitions - pt.3

Looks about right to me, John. I wish there were more of this kind of thing in 1/48, maybe a D-7, D-8, and a Cat 12 grader. They made 9000 D-8's, a few more D-7's than that, and many Cat 12's in WW II, all over the place building airfields. If I read the description in the instructions correctly, th...

Re: Latest Acquesitions - pt.3

Picked this one up to use with my Rufe. I was surprised to see the mis-spelling of the name on the radiator but the marking on the plastic is right. Komatsu is still a big manufacturer of construction equipment.

Re: Empire of the Rising Sun Group Build

With the better weather here I've had some distractions but I have a report on the Rufe. Canopy is on and masked. The bottom was painted the Nakajima grey green, and then the upper surfasces were painted with Alclad dull aluminum, followed by a clear coat to protect it. You will see that there is so...
