The flamboyant schemes are very well chosen. I like the 101 Sentai in particular. I noted that in the last desperate months of the war Hayate units gave up uniformity and many individual embellishments emerged as your collection shows us.

Love the variations in colors/finishes. Done to the usual high Ronconi standard on a kit that has held its age well. Having built the Tamiya, Revell and Hasegawas kits they all look good built but the Hasegawa one holds its stance the best. I'm sure the Arma kit ups the ante but I havent gotten it to the bench yet. Nice work Rob its always good to see more of your talent. And thanks Nick for the historical perspective.Kevin Badenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5748156690521830936.post-55498297451521099422022-11-03T16:43:40.036+00:002022-11-03T16:43:40.036+00:00Very nice mix of finishes and markings.

I'm used to the relative uniformity of navy aircraft and to me anyway, the army planes look to be in several shades ranging from bright medium green to olive and dark olive on the same types as your builds show. Was this a factory policy or at the army's request or something else? Thanks Rob for some great builds and Nick for putting it together for us to look at!Jim Andersonnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5748156690521830936.post-19305866523874323122022-11-03T13:17:17.570+00:002022-11-03T13:17:17.570+00:00Great work, Rob.
