Re: Tamiya Ki-46 III Dinah
Not that I asked for a comparison, but thanks John Isn’t the Arrow comparable to an F-105 Thunderchief in size? An educated guess says that the Dinah looks to be around the size of a Hs-129, another small twin engine type.
BTW, both look great

Re: Tamiya Ki-46 III Dinah
The Dinah is finished, I even made a serious attempt at weathering. Not being happy with previous attempts with hair spray, I sprayed the upper side with Alclad ALC-101, followed by heavily thinned Tamiya IJA Green, layering it to get a faded look.. When that was dry but not cured hard I went to work with various sharp objects including fine wire and toothpicks, followed by fine sandpaper. I used a silver pencil in a few places. The wing markings are painted Tamiya flat red, the others are decals from the kit made by Scalemaster, labeled Invisiclear. I've had trouble with that type in the past but these worked very well.
This is a great kit, but I do think the Eduard masks are a great companion for it. Just for size reference there are pictures with an A6M2b Zero. The Dinah is all engine and is not a whole lot bigger than the Zero. No wonder it was fleet of wing.

That is another beauty! Such a petit craft.

Nice! Looks similar to the Heinkel-111

Re: Tamiya Ki-46 III Dinah
That’s another beautiful build John. You’re turning them out one after another right now. Very nicely done!
