Thank you very much! This kit is a real pleasure to work on. It's one of the newest and the engeenering is very good. Be careful with Hasegawa's old kits, they're quite difficult.
Just got this exact kit from the mail. And from your reviews and that of of top builders, this has got to be Hasegawa's best kit, IMO. Mr. Junpei Tenma's page provided excellent reference to the Ki-84, especially in rivet positioning and other key details. Of course, a mountain of thanks for this excellent how-to video.
10:10. No need to smear glue all over the outside when there is plenty of room to do it from underneath....I go 'fumunda" whenever possible. Great build overall, love the Hasegawa 1/32's.
Hasegawa desperately need to redo their Ki-43. One of the most important aircraft of the era after the A6M, yet the current kit tooling is now 50 years old and showing its age. They redid their A6M5 Hei in 2016, and I can understand why they haven't done a new tool A6M2 given Tamiya's superb tooling. But the Ki-43 is begging for a new tool in 1/32. So far in 1/32 IJA & IJN from pre 1945 Showa period I have Hasegawa's Ki-84, J2M3, Ki-61 and old tool A6M5. I have their same early era "Me 109E" (sic) tooled in 1972 bought & built long ago from the 1980 boxing. Even in comparison with their Oscar (1973) and Zero (1971) it's a shocker. Suggestions. Zoukei-Mura have done the Ki-45, but I think a new tool of the ever popular Ki-46II or III in 1/32 would be a winner for them. Not too big for the shelf in 1/32 but with enormous presence and one of the most aesthetically beautiful Japanese aircraft of the era as one of the most successful in its role.
Very good, the one real critique I have is that on the real aircraft rivet detail is invisible unless you are very close to it, and panel lines only slightly more visible since they are tightly fitted.
Studiosam you are quick it must be that you have being diong this for many of years and your support materials like line drawing and rivets placements are great references and thats something I have been in search for a long while and will google his name as I do have a few of these kits of same I got when a importer went out of business and this with other 1/32 scale kits and must get line and rivets drawings for them as well. Its seems with years of technic and applications of colors and sraying gun control is something of trial and errors, its paying the dues to play the blues, I really like your steady hand on cutting the tape as seen on other build your abilities to cut the tape to reflect arrows of type, just think if you built homes by now you would most likely be building shyscapers😂 im gonna watch more of your builts you are most definitely a craftsman absolutely splendid and when you give a thumbs up 👍 im sure you are smiling too! I haved wat h other and some are good but you got it all done with excellence across the board and these builds are qualifiers for museum cased enclosed dioramas for viewing by others. Eye candy to say the least, a daydreamers delight! 😊
Very nice. But I think you over did the weathering and wear a bit. The Ki-84 was introduced in the summer of '44. It was in service for about a year before the war came to an end. More importantly, by that stage of the conflict Japanese fighters are lucky to survive half a dozen combat missions before they are shot down. The typical fighter really didn't have more than a few months in the field, which isn't a lot of time to get really weathered and worn. Fighters leaving the factory in summer mostly didn;t get to see winter and those rolling off the production line in winter is lucky to see spring! What's more prevalent of late war Japanese stuff is the lack of finishing and poor quality to begin with. Unpainted undersides for instance is not too uncommon as are missing gauges.
Never have experience with Hasegawa.
Looks great Job, really profesional
Thank you very much!
I usually buy Trumpeter, Dragon, or Tamiya however now I'm interested in this Hasegawa kit. That's a beautiful plane! Well done!

A beautiful 'Frank'. Excellent build.👍
Thank you very much!!
An awesome build. Really enjoyed it.
Thank you very much!!

I'm glad that my build can be helpfull. Good build to you!
Stellar job there, SS. A very enjoyable build and a terrific final reveal.
Thank you very much!!

Hasegawa 1/32's.
Thank you for watching. I overglue the top in purpose. This helps to create a strong weld and the use of putty is not needed.
That was the fastest weathering technique ive ever seen. Nice idea!
Thank you very much!
I wish Hasegawa would release more 1/32 Japanese War birds. There's so many left to do.

You are so talented my Friend- Detroit
Thank you very much! Thank you for watching!
Thats a Japanese aircraft fighter plane Hayate Ki 84 very nice. Of all the Japanese fighters this one is unique.
Thank you for your comment Neil!

Thanks for watching! Rivets or no rivets, that is the question! I prefer my models with.🙂
Up to everyone at the end.
Great job!
Thank you very much!
Very nice!🤗
Thank you!
Chipping is over done for me. You have major chipping on wing roots and a large patch by tail but not a chip of paint any were else?
Chipping is difficult. I just tried to redo the boxart.
Thank you for your comment!

This Hayate came out very nice! Was the propeller really that frog green 🐸? Nice channel subjects, subbed ✨👍✨
Thank you very much! To be honnest, the propeller looks too greeny for me as well. I have to repaint it.
Great build ! Bravo :o)
Merci beaucoup!
Of all kits...this one comes with canopy mask !?!???
Thank you for watching! Not for this one, aftermarket.
Beautiful
Thank you very much!
So with all this attention to detail why does it still look like a model? What can we do to make it more realistic? Is it just the scale problem?
What brand of color did use to paint it? And for the rivets, how much is the distance between the spikes?
Thanks for watching! All the colors that I use are named in the video. Distance is about 0.7mm.
👍👍👍
Thank you very much!

Thank you very much for this piece of History, Always a pleasure to get details.
Very Good Job
