Hi all,
It was my first natural metal finish attempt and at the same time the last Japanese project. So I did my best to show justice to the fastest Japanese aeroplane in WW2.Both kits were from Hasegawa and I added a lot of scratchwork having a sufficient ref material at hand partly due to George Eleftheriou's help. A lot of effort was put on the modelling bench but the final result-I think- was worth it. I called the project ''Frank in and out'' for obvious reasons.lol..! I hope you like my work..
The NMF Hayate got the gold medal,the best aircraft and the Best Of Show award in last year's Greek IPMS competition. I'm really happy a Japanese aeroplane made it to the top!

I heard that Panagiotis is considering this project to be his last Japanese aviation subject. I'm sure we all agree that we would very much like to see more Japanese aircraft models from Master Modeller Panagiotis Koubetsos. Leave a message if you want him to continue building Japanese aircraft or change to modern Greek aviation.
