おお、ニックちゃんおひさ♪
私のブログで未発表の写真「オリジナルカラー写真の零戦」「カラー未発表隼」の資料はイギリス在住の私の友達Nickさんの資料が発端でした。今日は久しぶりメールがきたので掲載します。Hi Ken & Ta.guccijust posted this at j-aircraft.com and thought it may be of interest to you both."Here are some images from the instructions for the recent ICM Ki-27 Ko in 1/72nd scale illustrating the unique engineering approach to the kit. I haven't tried building it yet and ICM kits are not known for their ease of construction but I like the way the breakdown follows the original. Note in particular the undercarriage legs, tail unit and engine mount details. The bottom of the rudder assembly and tail skid are fully detailed and the undercarriage oleos protrude through the upper wing surface as on the real thing.Good news (for me anyway) is that there is no resin, photo-etch or vac-form and the 3-piece injected canopy permits the sliding portion to be left off in the way the Ko was often flown. The kit is marketed as a Ko but contains all the pieces for the Otsu.I bought mine direct from the Ukraine for a fraction of the cost of the kit from retailers in the UK - where it is proving difficult to find anyway. Thank you Renat!The decal sheet is for the Ko only. I like the shade of red but the finish is matt and the colour a little variegated. The well known options are:1st Sentai, Toshio Kato, Nomonhan 193984th Ind Chutai, China 193910th Ind Chutai, China 1940 (nice to see the white edging for the black tail is provided!)59th Sentai, 2nd Chutai, Nomonhan 1939"Best regardsNick宝焼酎飲み過ぎで翻訳はオミット!各自改訳してちょうだい。
