Japanese Aircraft Online Model Contest 004 - MARK JAHSAN

I don’t know about having the best Oscar, so I’m going for the most!
There’s a single Nichimo I in 1st markings, then seven Otaki II’s. One from the box in 25th.
The Thai Royal elephant markings came from the Nichimo kit, the rectangle insignia from the AMT Hawk 75 kit. The Thai roundels, Indonesian and Communist Chinese came from the Bestfong sheet.
Finally the French one was cobbled from spares.
Love those Otaki kits.

Japanese Aircraft Online Model Contest 004 - DEREK COOPER

To get the ball rolling, here is my entry for the new “Hayabusa” model competition.

When US Forces captured Hollandia Airfield on New Guinea in April 1944, they found several Hayabusas abandoned by the Japanese in various states of disrepair. There seems to have been something of a competition between the various units stationed there, to bring the aircraft back into flyable condition. My model represents one such aircraft repaired by 41st Troop Carrier Squadron.
