Top job Brent. And good to see a subject that doesn't get much attention otherwise.

Thanks everyone. I have always liked the Japanese Army and Navy twin engine fighters in WW2. There is not much to choose from in 1/100 scale so I went to my stack of printed papermodels and vectorized and simplified the Fly 1/33 scale Ki-45 Toryu to 1/100 scale. To my surprise everything fight perfect the first try. I couldn't roll the upward firing guns tight enough, so I will find something to put there later.

Congratulations, it look really nice, so credit for the original designer and to the resizer.

Beautiful job Brent. Love those mottle camo jobs.

Maybe with those guns you could try lengths of refillable pencil leads? I use them because A) they come in a variety of thicknesses or 'calibres' and B) they don't need painting.

Excellent work on the Toryu!
To me it's always a pleasure to see something from the Pacific.

Very nice Ki-45.I find scaling down aways works-scaling up can give some strange results.

I have seen that thread on it on Konradus too-that was insane work.

Good to see you are setting up shop on Ecards.Looking forward to shopping spree

Fantastic Ki-45. Nice one.

That's a great Ki-45!

I can personally vouch for Brent's camo jobs... I have never seen camo liveries so precisely executed on such simple kits. Makes them look like top shelf kits.
