Burt leaves his comfort zone and tries another of those airplanes with one of them there whirly-around bits stuck on the pointy end.

Burt; nice diorama of one of my favorite IJAAF fighters. For my money, Hien was the best looking airframe of the war - Allied or Axis.

Nicely done Hien, Burt! I like especially that clean build. Some years ago I've also build one in quarterscale. No, not one of Kobayashi ....
I didn't know that Hasegawa also sells the little Toyota car with an aircraft. I bought this kit when it came together with an Isuzu truck.

Burt, another nicely done museum model. I was some what taken by surprise of the Shamrock on the fuselage. Just goes to show you my lack of knowledge on Japanese aircraft. Joel

Nice build. A great looking fighter and a nice choice of color scheme.
Thanks for sharing
