This is the Hasegawa 1/32 scale "Frank". I built it for a local hobby shop to hang from the ceiling. I think it was a very good kit that went together well. It sure is different working in this larger scale when I am used to working in 1/72!
I am going to build a couple more 1/32 scale kits to adorn the ceiling of our local Hobbytown USA.
The kit is painted in IJA green, and IJA grey. Hope you like it. Enjoy.

Siderius,

Your Frank will look good in the store. A fine model.

Looks good Russell. It's been a while since I've built an aircraft but I'm sorely tempted by the Hasegawa 1:32 Ki-84. Looks like your collie is too!

Hi Russel

great build ... but, any animal (including man) that near to my models would make me really nervous ....

cheers

Russell,

Looks good! Could be the photo, but in the 2d pic, it looks like some of the decal film on the yellow stripe on the middle of the prop blades is overhanging the blade. A dab of decal softening solution will bed it down. Great job!

Yeah Russell, if that filthy lil' beast got near MY model, I'd give it a swift kick!

Great model It will definently add atmosphere to the local hobby store.

As previously mentioned a dog that close to a model looks dangerous - except if the dog is really well trained.

Thanks for sharing

I think the dog heard that the pilot has treats in his pockets, or he is guarding the captured prisoner. Either way, great looking model! I have not tackled a 1/32 yet, but may pick one up soon as they do look like a lot of fun.

Thanks everyone for the kind words about the "Frank". It was a fun build, especially since I usually don't build that large of a scale.
It is hanging in the model shop right now and looks great.
The dog is well trained and the model was never in any danger; at least I think so. Ha ha. Russell

I think the model was only in danger from the dog's owner, "Fred, leave the canopy alone!"
