 :bow: really neat modelling indeed, a nice mini theme too  :thumbsup:

a while ago John Lacey 'maverick' did some really nice looking Chinese profiles, Twin Mustang, etc. might give more inspiration for builds  :wacko:

cheers, Joe

What scale and manufacturer is the Kikka? 1:72?

Nice ideas - I think about building my Ki-98 from Meng in such fictional markings, too.

Ah, thank you. I have - so far - only seen a 1:72 resin Kikka kit in a local specialty store, and I could hardly believe that yours would be THAT kit!  ;D

The Kikka kit is made by FineMoulds. Quite a good kit.

AZ have now issued 3 boxings of its new injection moulded Kika kit, although i doubt it will be quite up there with Toms finemould kit in 1/48th
