2018 IPMS Scalefest
Grapevine, TX.
Grapevine, TX.
Held on a very hot June 2nd, it was cool inside, with a number of different J-planes on the tables this year. Almost all were singe engine fighters, no medium to large bombers or transports. Scales ranged from a 1/32 Ki-84 to a tiny 1/144 "Rufe" with most being 1/48 and a couple 1/72nd thrown in for good measure.
Of particular note was the large scale, and well worn looking, Ki-84 Hayate. and a 1/48 Ki-27 with very effective paint chipping effect. There was also a nice trio of Ki-61 Hien, and a B6N2 Tenzan.
Lastly, and because I found it interesting, a Tachikoma and Major Kusanagi figure from the anime "Ghost in the Shell".
Enjoy!

That Ki-27's paint job is masterful. I'm also liking the B6N2. The torpedo looks like it has some green overspray (but it's hard to see given the angle and only a single photo.) Does anyone have any comments on the color of the torpedo?
ReplyDeleteI had a look at another photo I took, it looks to be a gray/green color. I wouldn't take it face value, though. The lighting was not great and I didn't have my best camera with me that day.
ReplyDeleteIt definitely looks like green overspray on the wing IFF markings for that B6N2. All the models look great. Thanks for sharing.
