I have to be Frank. I really enjoyed Hasegawa's Ki-84 (in two scales)



This is the 1/72nd Hasegawa kit







                    Built alongside the Hasegawa 32nd version, using the Arawasi decals





I liked the box art enough to frame so its alongside other 32nd offerings from Hasegawa. The Tony (art provided by my friend Ian Jackson ) and the George




The masking for my choosen scheme turned out to be a disaster. My own fault and nothing to do with the kit



So back to the drawing board (work bench) and scheme number 2























The colourt scheme lays between the two sets of pics  Flash  and direct light.



                Found it hard to get the "correct" colouring with my old point and shoot



A few of the absolute "shed load" of schemes available,weathered and pristine (well a bit pristine)

First show of the 2018 "season" The New Look Bolton Show

                       A big thank you to all involved. A well run and presented show.



  











































Just my opinion,but my favourite group display were the 144 SIG.  All the models were to a high standard,with many of them elevated to "First Class" modeling.







Mt point and shoot just doesnt do them justice.



The Merseyside guys had a nice mixture on display.....and a good selection of wine gums!!!
