Mr. Eastwood?

Ya I have an old set of 120mm Verlinden decals and when I saw Eastwood it was a done deal

Thanks for the kind words.

Well today being a holiday in the USA, I am trying to wrap up my Arma Hobby 1/72 Ki-84. I made the mistake of starting to weather this thing, because late war j-aircraft always , at least the ones operating outside of the home islands, seem to me like they should be more than a little bit beat up. The scheme I am doing operated from the Philippine Islands, so I imagine it quite used and worn. Anyway, I don't usually weather my a/c other than the basic exhaust stains an such, because, as you know, once you weather one area, you have to weather everything or it's going to look out of place. So I have spent quite a bit of time today making this thing look the part, at least to my mind's eye

Looks very good indeed Chris - that chipping came out well.

Very cool!

That looks gorgeous!

Thanks everyone for the kind words. I hope to finish this kit today I just have to paint and install the pitot tube , attach the two main landing gear, one tail wheel door, and the tiny tiny tiny drop tank sway braces (think I'll leave off the actual tanks though...).
