Well, not much progress on the KI-84 lately, as I have been busy with many other things. I did have a moment to sit down and make a few cuts, so I decided to begin tackling the remaining fuselage skinning - and definitely not the easiest part.

Very cool. Looks like a small insect, so intricate!

More progress photos. The fuselage skin around the wheel wells and wings is complete. Strangely, this has been the most difficult part of the model so far. It requires near perfect shaping of some TINY parts - so my execution is far from what is required, but it will do.

Built and added the head restraint. You can also see in the pics that I am enhancing the weathering a bit by adding some carbon streaking from the engine exhausts and machine guns.

Nice job - I'm most impressed with the pieces sitting by themselves holding that shape. I hope someday I get my forming skills up to being able to do that - working on it, but not there yet

That is a beautiful piece of work! Do you still have any sanity left?

It will do? IT WILL DO?! Looks pretty darn near perfect to me!

This is a truly amazing model and build. You have a very sure touch with the enhanced weathering and the entire airplane is a thing of wonder. You are doing full justice to this historic aircraft.
