- I'm a bit behind in my videos this week, so I thought I'd make this video showing my Japanese WWII collection, as a few people have been asking to see it over the past few months.
- Zábava
With these Japanese aircraft NOW u can destroy America.
You have one hell of a collection. Your knowledge and enthusiasm is one of the reasons I set aside time to watch your videos.
+GYRUSS Thanks Gyruss, that means a lot :D
Great Video! Nice work. I’m a mostly 1/72 guy and I appreciate the historical accuracy, details, and effort put into the display. Keep going.
You'll soon have a model Pearl Harbor squadron keep up the huge success mate good job =)
A beautiful collection :) I watched with great pleasure.
+Ccap selL Thanks I'm glad you liked it :D
I mostly build armor 1/35th scale. I did build my first and only ever 1/72 aircraft... a Tamiya 'Shinden'. I read Saburo Sakai's memoirs years ago and am looking forward to building more aircraft kits. Thanks for the inspirational video!
+Quixotic Modeler Awesome, good luck on your builds :D
A6 series of aircraft have a simplistic beauty about them.
Dude, the second you make even half of those rc you're becoming a national security threat (love the models btw, hope you're doing well and still going at it!)
nice work-
very nice collection you got there.
Nice collection.
Very cool collection.
+Will Mee Thanks Will :D
I watched with great pleasure.
Your really into the a6m
I love building models and you have an awesome collection. I will be honest, I tend to deviate from historical schemes a lot just for kicks so I could never really show mine off for anything other than, hey look what I did. Keep up the excellent work. I am making a move and hopefully this will be my last for a while so I can up my game on the builds and make them more impressive.
Any websites you would suggest to pick up excellent kits for reasonable prices which ship to the states?
The first aircraft had contra-rotating props so that the torque would balance out and thus avoid the aircraft from dipping into the water on one side. They did the same on the Kyofu prototype and then realised that this wasn't actually an issue and reverted to omni-rotational propellers. I believe this was only on the aircraft with a single large float and the outriggers.
the daina looks amazing
very nice! :)
Nice collection
+komoras Thanks :D
nice work
+Jack aubrey22 Thanks :D
Very Nice! You are artist
Belíssima Coleção! Parabéns 👏
Nice collection. Suggest you treat yourself to a 1/72 Ki-44. Lovely looking little hot rod.
FROG also did a forgotten old kit on the "Rita", even though I don't think I ever saw the kit apart from in catalogues.
Back in the day some FROG kits were actually reboxed Hasegawa so, if they also did a Rita then it was likely the same model.
Nice
Built that LS models KI15 it was an very nice kit then some how it disappeared from my shelf
There is this hobby store in Illinois called Hobby Town and it has a lot of model kits
great
If it's alright might I recommend Hasagawa's 1/48 F1M Pete (kit 19196), 1/32 Ki-61 (kit 08078), and 1/48 Ki-45 (kit JT95)? Great kits so far! Got their 1/32 N1K2-J on the way as well.
Great stash too! I also have the Seiran.
Kyle Bell This is a 1/72 collection.
2:05 thats how a Dinah worked it's way into my collection
When will you get around to that H6k? I think that would be a really interesting build!
Fantastic flying boats...they used them to transport fuel for I-boats, Fish-shoal or something, forget what it was called, for the attack on Midway.
They were heavily armed, too, were not easy targets for allied fighters, had better defensive armament than a Sunderland had, and far better than PBY had.
素晴らしい❗
Nice collection. I'm building Airfix's old Aichi Val kit right now. I'm having to scratch a floor and token instrument panel for sanity sake. A great kit for practicing chipping/weathering though. :-)
Thanks Robert :D I did the same with that kit. Was a fun time building up the interior, but next time I'm aiming for the Fujimi kit. Good luck on it :D
I've completed it now, just in time for the 75th Anniversary of Pearl Harbour. I put a photo on today's Airfix "workspace Wednesday" post on Facebook.
Amazing..i just have one..Hobbymaster 1/72 Nakajima B5N2 Kate
I always liked the Japanese stuff, even though airfix never had much of a Japanese range I loved the 1960s Japanese-made stuff.., I think they should have gone for the Dinah-Ki46 III ??with glass nose..it's a beautiful plane.
I'm a bit surprised that they never did, considering they have on in the UK to use as a reference. I know LS models made of in the 70's-80's. I've heard through the rumor mill that Airfix might be planning some more Japanese aircraft in the very near future :D
The old airfix Japanese range was very crummy, as was the Italian and Russian subjects..of course it was possible even back then b4 I had access to the more exotic brands offering, even b4 Italerie appeared with excellent offerings , to supplement the basic Airfix and FROG subjects with the likes of the Revell Ki43, Revel Polikapov 1-16, and Revel CR42s and Mc200s..actually I think even FROG, not many years before it sold out, offered an LA5/7 kit and Tupolev SB2.
i bought today a fw190 D. The only problem is that the landing gear isn't retractable (i think. Is it possible to modify so it can ?)
I always modify it to retract the landing gear in every model. When nothing helps use filler to help.
Hello, I happy to discover your collection. im myself an admiror of WWII japanese planes design. I'm having a little colllection of EASY MODEL warbirds but im desperate to see that there is very very few japanese models from them : (no zeros in white versions, no Kawasaki's n1kxx., no Nakajima's Kixx).
Do you have any tips or news of japanese incoming models from EASY MODEL? (I know and love the Oxford aviation, Corbi, and Hobby master product for example, but i want to stay in PLASTIC ready made product).
Thank you.
I'm afraid ready made models aren't in my forte. A great way to let companies know what customers would like is to post suggestions on their Facebook pages.
I heard that the airfix decals are inaccurate as they represent a training squadron, not a Rabaul squadron.
Yes, there is quite a bit of controversy on the accuracy of that particular Zero. I think a few people even went and asked Airfix about their sources. With their B5N2, you can see in the instructions they tried much harder to be more accurate. I even asked around to a few people who would know better and they were stumped as well.
No zero float version! Cool version
I just got one over the summer, will be built soon.
Great Japanese aircraft I've built the old air fix dinah
+Danielc 3888 Thanks Daniel, it's a fun kit :)
+rebelsatcloudnine Speaking of fun kits, you have got to try Tamiya's 1/72 N1K2-Ja! I'm literally almost done with mine. Heck, I'm tempted to get a few more!
+Kyle Bell Hi Kyle, that one's been on my watch list for a while now, you are right I really need to get one some day. :D
You guessed right about the pronunciation of 瑞雲-- zui un. Just say it more quickly. It means "auspicious clouds" and is the name of the Aichi E16A, a two-seater reconnaissance seaplane. Too bad you didn't wait another few days to make this video, because you have another Japanese warplane on its way to you!
+stevethefishdotnet Ha ha you're right I'm editing that video right now :D I just sent you and e-mail.
+rebelsatcloudnine And I'm actually pretty jazzed that I pronounced it right :D
how about the rare of rare ki 54 tachikawa iida
Just like binary code, you’ve got too many zeros
Now I have the sudden urge to build a Zero...
+Fargo Scale Models Ha ha excellent :D
百式司令偵察機(RAF Museum)、いいね。実物がイギリスにあります。日本陸軍最速で世界初の偵察機です。
Hi i wonder if you could help me, i bought recently a hayate but i dont trust the old very old instructions so im asking you about the paintings, the upper side should go in green but im not sure if i should use humbrol 75 ( as it says in airfix japanese aircraft) and on the underside the instructions say silver but i doubt about it. So if you could help it would be great .
Second would you explain again how does the vaakuum thing work please i will find it useful !
Thank you very much !!!
Greetings from Mexico!
+josef alfaro kreiner von richtofen I've never used the Humbrol 75 personally, but based on the few pictures I found I think it would be a nice color. If you aren't too satisfied with it, perhaps look for a more drab green. Like Tamiya XF-13. Unfortunatly, my book on the Hayate, is hidden somewhere in storage at the moment. But I recent found out while researching the Ki-100, that later in the war some places would only use the green on top to save time, and not bother to paint he underside. I haven't' found anyplace to 100% confirm this, but Japan did have many aircraft that were silver and Green, like the Ki-43 Hayabusa. Here in this video I demonstrate vaccu-forming a new canopy :D czcams.com/video/CBand4qeunU/video.html
+rebelsatcloudnine thank you very much ! Just a last question
Ive looked at some ki84 photos and there is a black stripe coming from the cowling to the cockpit, but on my instruccions there is no stripe, so that stripe must be there?
Again thank you very much !!!
+josef alfaro kreiner von richtofen No problem. Some of the Ki-84's had them and some didn't. They do seem to be a more common on a lot of the Hayate. I think if you wanted to add the black strip there wouldn't be any harm in doing that, would probably look really good :D
+rebelsatcloudnine thanks mate it really helps me with this little project !!
A Ki-61 with a radial engine? By Aoshima?
Unless you're thinking of the Ki-100, no such thing existed...
+Mijova Kalaydzhieva Nope that is the one, I forgot they changed the numbers to it.
nevermind its in the title srry
How do I make water in a diorama I'm trying Vallejo Still water and it's not working good should I try Epoxy
+Willaim Schrandt OH, sorry I won't really be of good help here William. I've never used water effects before. I've heard mixed results about Vallejo. I'm quite impressed with Deluxe Materials water products. I've never tried them but to me they look to be very simply to use: www.deluxematerials.co.uk/gb/
I am very interested to do this especially airplanes... How can I do this at entry level without investing too much?
James Ong Swee Hin You can buy the HobbyBoss Zero. Very cheap.
Find a local modeling club as many guys sell their kits (usually) REALLY cheap, especially the 1/72nd scale stuff. The same when there's a modeling contest with a lot of stuff being sold. Also, check out Ebay and The Squadron Shop. Squadron has monthly sales and more than once have gotten some really good buys. If you're looking for tools, check out your local hobby shop along with Hobby Lobby and Michaels...and don't forget about their usual 40% off online coupons you can use in the store.
what scale are the zeroes?
Jonathan Miller 1/72
Do some of these kits lack instructions in English?
+toxteth o'grady Some of the older ones, but a lot of Japanese manufactures now a day's try and print very easy to read instructions so everyone can understand them, and still print in Japanese.
+rebelsatcloudnine thanks
What was the water plane I do Japanese I could figure out
Aichi E16A Zuiun, allied code name PAUL. No idea on the pronunciation, unfortunately -- possibly Zwee-un. Wikipedia entry mentions that it was unusual for a floatplane in that it had dive brakes.
where did you get the Claude
+xboxgamer Local hobby store.
+rebelsatcloudnine TAMIYA?
+xboxgamer Hobby Boss
Only recently realized that there is a mid-wing and low-wing model of George fighter..
The turn off to many modelers on Japanese aircraft especially bombers is the seemingly endless amount of frame lines that need to be masked. Of course I'm not telling modelers of Japanese A/C anything they don't already know lol.
Whair do you by your models
+george taylor Model shops, Model shows, and the internet :D
You have 6 zeros?
Heikki Mäki-Ruuti 6 zeros and 1 eggzero. He' d bought more zeros to build.
Hey I'm doing a diorama of a pt boat being attacked by a Japanese zero where can I get a 1/72 scale zero
+Willaim Schrandt Sounds like an awesome dio, Amazon, ebay... or here charliesplasticmodels.com/products?keywords=zero
+rebelsatcloudnine thanks for the help I bought one from Amazon air fix
+Willaim Schrandt Awesome choice, I've built 3 of them, a very fun kit :D
+rebelsatcloudnine is there any flashing on the model do you know of
+rebelsatcloudnine and is there a way I can contact you
pronounced zwee-ooon...zuiun
Your Japanese accent is very thick.
