Thanks everyone for the positive feedback on my completed KI-84...it was a long build, but mainly because I took time away from building to work on some home renovation projects. I kept this little Beauty in a box on my shelf tucked away for the day that I would finally pull it out and complete it. I'm glad I did. I have a couple of other planes that I am now working on that I hope to continue build threads for.

Really good work! This is very difficult model, and the final effect is awesome, congratulations!
 I have this model in my collection, you can see photos here.

Thanks! It is a quite difficult model, but more than anything it just takes precision and patience. I bought a second kit as a "backup" in case I completely screwed something up and I had to start a part over. I had to do that for two small sub-assemblies on this kit, but I won't say which ones. Your build was very good as well- it is always interesting to see how someone else builds the exact same kit. There are usually subtle nuances that are different.

so I am fixing the term for this beautiful airplane... *I am not a fan of Japanese aircraft....* - apologies for my non intentional wrong use of phrase. And by the way... I guess I'm also changing my likes to WWII Japanese Airplanes... I guess I need to built a Zero to grasp the flavor of it.

Yes, the Zero is high on my list. I was not initially drawn to the Japanese aircraft of WWII, but as I began doing a bit of exploring and research, I found them to be quite beautifully designed - in a very functional, minimalist kind of way. The KI-84 was especially of interest to me because it was the most successful and widely produced of the Japanese fighters in the Pacific arena. It was well matched against - if not superior to - many of the allied aircraft. It was typically only defeated because it was often outnumbered. It also helps that Halinski made such a beautiful replica kit to build...I could not resist!
