Some nice details in the office Ian

I read somewhere that the Japanese didn’t use primer to save both resources and airframe weight. This meant that the camo came off very quickly.
Should be fun to paint then!

Cheers SteveM

Steve, you are correct. Essentially a lack of primer underneath the top coat.

I made some progress on the Ki-100 as I was able to get this beast put together. Hasegawa normally has great fit but the wing root joint here was pretty disappointing. There was about a 3-4mm vertical gap between the fuselage and upper wing root. I had to insert a Plasti-Struct shim between the wing halves to get that upper wing to match the fuselage. Also, the left wing had a downward "gull" warp so I had to put the wing in a vise and heat it with a hairdryer to fix the angle. I then got the wings attached and everything matched up perfectly. I got the Tamiya putty on and I am starting the sanding and filling now.
