SHIZUOKA 2012 #3 - IJAAF

Many "Hayabusa" and "Shoki", few "Hayate" and even less "Toryu". Most models had similar mistakes (control surfaces of all fighters were gray not silver) and there was not much variety of subjects but as you can see some are really very good.

I believe the Nakajima Ki-44 "Shoki", Hasegawa 1/32, by Matsumoto-san is a Ki-84
whiffer.
The 1/144 Ki-34 is amazing. Thanks for showing these.

"Most models had similar mistakes (control surfaces of all fighters were gray not silver)" Why do you consider this to be a mistake? Control surfaces of japanese fighters of this time (and many other nations) were made of fabric covered railing, hence they were not in metal color... Please explain, when you claim to have spotted a mistake.

??? So you agree with what I say about the color of the fabric surfaces. Okay. And then you ask me to do what? To show which models did not have their fabric surfaces painted gray? Check the photos!
