Mike, I too share the same apprehension in regards to glues.
Thankfully, I carry an Aleene's Turbo Tacky glue, which seems
to have a very thin/watery quality to it. If my memory serves me correctly,
I believe you built a Halinski kit before? The...Ki-43? (Correct me if I'm wrong)
Nonetheless, though I understand you're in the midst of building a very excellent model (lovely Mustang and the P-40 (?))
I highly suggest building another Halinski, as they feel so exhilarating!

Thanks Don! I extend my suggestion to you as well -
I believe there are (3?) Halinski Aircraft kits in the Papermodelers Hangar
as of late, and I'm sure everyone would enjoy another one, especially from a person such as yourself. Perhaps another Halinski Callout is in order?

As per the Tamiya acrylics, I've decided to keep with them, though it will surely take some time getting used to foreign material.

Thanks Leif, you're too kind! I find this experience in building the Ki-84
will pay dividends when I move onto 'larger' projects in the summer .

No pictures updates so far, though I do have a question for you all.

Does anyone know of a publication or source for Ki-84 images,
specifically for the cockpit? I've searched google, but I'm coming up with seldom any specifics on the 'real' cockpit.
The majority of the search results are model builds, and I don't think basing off a model build for a model build is very wise -
especially if my intention is to model it after the 'actual' plane.*
