Tamiya 1/72nd scale Ki61 and Academy Me 262.

[RAGIII]

The Tamiya Ki 61 was built OOB. Kit decals. MRP paints for the NMF, and Tamiya XF7 for the red tail. Weathering with Oils.

Academy Me262:

Both are very nice indeed, you really have a style of weathering that I think looks just right without being overdone. Excellent paint jobs on both. And you clearly don't sleep.....

ANOTHER couple of builds 

Great to see and lovely finish on both

Thanks for the very kind comments as always! I found out that Tamiya had got the color of the stripes and upper wing stenciling wrong. So I went back and corrected the incorrect markings! Blue lengthwise fuselage stripes were in the kit as decals. The band on the rear fuselage was painted!

That's courageous! I would have just lived with it, but it looks like the correction worked out fine.

Nice looking Tony, Rick. I always liked the shape of that fighter.

Lovely work on these two Rick!

A question - I have the Academy 262 in the stash and am thinking about tackling it as my next project - do you have any build tips or things to watch out for with that one?

Cheers,

As far as I recall there are No unforeseen issues with constru0ction. I have built two and loved both! I would say, Just follow the directions carefully!
