But why do they insist on using small wheels and shiny covering?!
Still, I'm glad to see they put flaps on it. And very nice gear doors

zeno: a little spray of flat clear coat will take care of the shiny film.

I actually wish it were a kit I could build, but this will do.

I am thinking I may have a new warbird racer before the year is up.

I wonder how much beefing up will be needed for a YS 1.10.


Domo aregato Kyosho.

BANZAI!!!

Status: offline 		The Ki-61 has been one of my favorites for a long time too.

The span is about 55" if my guess is right? (1405mm = 55.314)

Where can you get Kyosho airplanes here in the U.S.? Do you have to deal direct with Kyosho America?
The Ki-61 doesn't show up on that site yet.

I wish they would have done it in the "Wave Mirror" scheme...but perhaps with some careful airbrush work and some silver paint?

I just looked at the Kyosho P-40 in RC Country Hobbies in Sacramento.

If the P-40 is any indication of the KI-61s quality, then the Tony will make a good candidate for beefing up for a warbird racer IMO.
And the price of the P-40 was fair IMO at $150.00 US.

I hope they get that Tony out soon.

Status: offline 		Just a bit off on the profile, not nit-picking but it looks a bit swollen compared to the real deal. Canopy is way off. This is also one of my favorite Japanese fighters, maybe some of our more true to scale manufacturers will do this one justice. KMP, you looking? Maybe if they had added the cockpit bracing it would look better?
