my latest finished kit is the new Tamiya KI61 in 1/48 scale i have used decals from a LTD edition Hasegawa kit for the 55th fighter Regiment Okinawakita April 1945

the kit is superb it has been built out of box with the exception of a set of Eduard seatbelts, and went together beautifully and heaps of detail.

Very nice Paul, is the Tamiya kit worth the extra $$$ over the Hasegawa kit?
Either way that's a nice result you've attained. Always a nice aircraft the Ki-61 series.
