Post by cbaltrin »

As promised, I Just finished the Arma Hobby 1/72 Ki-84 today folks. Amazing little kit. Highly recommended. Painted with Tamiya paints.

I’ve heard very good things on Arma Hobby kits but they mostly have 1/72 scale aircrafts. If they expand more to 1/48 scale, I’d definitely buy it.

The Ki-84 looks fantastic! :shoutout: :shoutout: :shoutout: :shoutout: :shoutout:

That's an absolutely cracking build Chris! Superb weathering and chipping.

Thank you gentlemen. I appreciate all your kind remarks. As much as I hate weathering, I have to admit, it does take a model to the next level. I sat the finished Ki-84 next to a Tamiya 1/72 N1K1 I built a few years back and did zero weathering on it, and I have to say the N1K1 just looks like a toy sitting next to the Ki-84 :hmm:

Remember seeing this one a couple of months back. I really like seeing these smaller scale builds that look like they are larger than they really are. Hat's off to ya Chris. :shoutout:

Some really impressive work going on here.
