Hey Darren, yes, glass would work better, be easier to work with (stiffer).

Todd, for sure the Ki will be at Owatonna unless taken out by the RC Gods prior.

Tonight I got the cockpit and rear gunner interior painted. This was painted with a mixed paint of 90% Japanese khaki and 10% red brown.

Working on the interior. Here is the rear gunner bay, which I will not install the gunner ring and gunner; this was removed on some flights to load up on weaponry), the cockpit and the top turtle deck installed. The 2 slots you see on the top of the deck sheeting is where the two 20mm cannons will protrude. Imagie the noise the pilot heard when 2 of these were fired off. The pilot is from GI Joe box.

Thanks Casey, still shooting for end of June for test flight. I see you made your move to Hawaii. I hope it all works out for you.

I'm sure it will, paradise and all.

I have a house found, but it will still be about 3 months before we permanently make the move.

Now you have someone from your old hometown to go visit, yes? [8D]

OK, I owe some updates. I spent THE ENTIRE WEEKEND finishing this plane up for paint. In addition to mounting the retracts, doors, UP-3 valve, and getting them all to work in harmony...although I have to admit, the UP-3 valve was timed flawlessly right out of the package, I mounted the engines, fuel tank and cowls. I have some cosmetic things to do to the cowl and then add framing on the canopies. Afer that, she will be ready for paint. I should be painting it in the next couple of weeks. I'll get some pictures of it when I get home. If it ever stops raining here, I want to put it all together and get a shot of it sitting on gear for the first time.

Looking good Jeff, I think your pilot is related to the one who flys my Ki-61 Tony.

The paint is wtill sitting at Home Depot awaiting to be mixed. I have about a weeks worth of panel line and detail work to do before paint. But, we are headed to CO tomorrow, so I will lose 6 days.

Geez Jeff,

If you lived closer, she would be all painted when you came back from CO

See you soon,

That'd be sweet! I'd have no hesitation with that idea.

OK, back and recovered from Warbirds over Denver. Back to the Ki-45. Got the cockpit, etc. framed out with aluminum tape and taped off for paint/primer. Also got the landing light installed.

No, these are spinners they sell for the Aerotech and Don Smith Ki-84....they already have all the tooling.

Long overdue on an update:

The fuse is all painted with the painted graphics and Pro-Mark stencils on. The wing is in primer and panel lines, awaiting arrival of my paint to shoot the gray/green.

Everything is installed in the plane. As soon as I get the wing painted and the last 2 parts for my spinner set-up from Tru-Turn, i can put it together and balance it.

First day out will be just running and tuning engines, but it will fly, finally, this July sometime.

Will post pics as soon as I locate my camera.....[&:]
