found and cleaned my shelf of shame Ki.83 by MPM. Hm do not remember why i threw it there. Not that bad as i had in mind.
And a wonderful styled twoengine. Looks as if i used it for color and airbrushtesting :

Wetsanding and sanding off lots off gluebadges. Little bit of rescribing and removed the transparent parts which were blind and damped by the cement.

If I could make a request, I would like to see some super subtle panel lines, after filling the panel lines with a wash. I am looking to get this 1:144 cargo jet and a review unfortunately point out that the panel lines in that particular kit I am interested in, are too large, so I was thinking, I could maybe try having a very light color for the panels lines hoping that the panel lines won't stand out too much that way if the panel lines are really too large/deep for the 1:144 scale. 🙂 I have no idea how that would look like if the panel lines are super subtle.

Hi Treehugger, That is a possibility. you can also use a bit more of color for the base coat or use Mr Gunze Surfacer.

Slowly i remember why i put this thing aside.. The fit of the small parts and the windows is terrible 🙂

Some progress, iintensiv cleaning and Sanding of the Canopy and Transparent parts till they fit.
Little bit of future treatment before masking them 🙂
Drilled holes in the exhaust pipes and the 20mm cannons in the nosefront etc.
As far as i can say by now thanks for the reminder Katya 👍 It is fun and seems to turn out well

It's always a pleasure to see another victim of the Shelf of Doom rescued from a fate worse than death...

Fantastic! Well done so far. Thanks Katya and Daniel! 🙂

Nice looking aircraft with sleek lines... luckily saved from the shelve of doom. Nice build so far...

Looking great! The Japanese made some very elegant 2-engined planes. I remember MPM also did a high-tech version, how is the detail on this one?
23 November 2018, 15:08
Daniel Klink
@Greg yes as long as there is the slightest chance to get an acceptable result 👍
@Cuajete Thank you mate
@Neuling Thank you for the encouraging words . Yes it is a really attractive airplane 👍
@Paul Thank you ! Indeed they did so 👍 The detail is rather poor. No engines etc.
I think the HI tech offering would offer a lot of more possibilities for Detailing.

Masking is fun, masking is fun, masking is fun !!!😉

Did you add any putty to get a better fit for the canopy?

Working with putty is so much more fun for me when I stopped using the obnoxious Tamiya putty I had from earlier.
26 November 2018, 12:57
Daniel Klink
Hi, no the Canopy joints nearly perfect to the fuselage. The windows needed a fairly amount of sanding and puttying a

Those panel lines are looking amazing!

Thanky you Katya.. 👍 Supplies arrived today and the Props got some colour

Any colour scheme plans?

Martin Oostrom
I'm putting my money on Japanes green over Japanese grey 😄
28 November 2018, 16:35
Katya Hodgson
How about some nice silver?
28 November 2018, 16:46
Daniel Klink
@Martin, 100 points 👍
@Katya I would like to do an NMF but this would be What if because there is no photo or other evidence of how a NMF Ki.83 would have looked alike. The special hobby boxing shows an alternative marking that most probably never existed.
The half dark and half Light Green gray camo is documented and evident in dozens of pictures.
But despite of the Emily future japanese projects will be mor colorful i promise😢

Oh, one second!

These are technically "unhistorical" but they look beautiful!

Wow. I can't believe his one was "mostly dead". You're like Miracle Max!

Hi Greg, Thank you,very much. There is still some work to do, but i think it was the righht decision to revive this bird

Really nice work so far Daniel!
18 December 2018, 08:02
Daniel Klink
Hi, Thank you Sören very kind.
just some decal and paintwork left to do and some smaller repairs of the paintwork.
Antenna press on the cabin and the piton and than it is done😉

Daniel, could we see the underside ?
19 December 2018, 09:15
Bart Goesaert
looking really nice, glad that it survived the shelf of doom
19 December 2018, 09:16
Daniel Klink
@Olivier yes, but it is also still WIP😉
19 December 2018, 15:26
Daniel Klink
Thank you Bart very much appreciated 👍 It was the right decision to save this yes.
Ok it is not the same as a built new out of the box. There are issues which went not as well as planned, but it could be worse.

F+ck nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!

Katya Hodgson
Oh no.. ; ~ ;
19 December 2018, 17:14
Daniel Klink
Exactly Katya.. Thats really crap. Will try to get replacement by Special Hobby but i doubt that they will have a canopy in stock. And i don't know any Vacu alternatives from Falcon etc.
19 December 2018, 17:29
Martin Oostrom
Oh boy. This calls for resurrection pt2.
19 December 2018, 17:34
Katya Hodgson
I really hope you can sort this problem out, and that it will all turn out ok. You have been doing an amazing job with this and you make awesome models, so I wish you all the best. 🙂
19 December 2018, 17:39
Bart Goesaert
Maybe you van glue the cockpit together like this and sand it thinner. Then fill it up at the inside with blutack or the like. Then heat a sheet of blister-foil and pull it over the form. Then it's cutting and sanding...
19 December 2018, 17:44
gorby
That really is an 'Oh, shit' moment.
Time to learn plunge moulding?
19 December 2018, 17:50
Olivier
Oh ho... Was ist passiert ? Unfall ? Wir weinen alle mit Dir.
19 December 2018, 20:59
Greg Baker
Wow... did you step on it? It looks like you've got all the pieces. Maybe some careful glueing, some sanding and a lot of Future might make it passable. Or... you could turn the diorama into "Fire in the cockpit!" And have lots of cotton smoke pouring out the holes...😉

Or, you could do what Martin did with my last good advice and put a homemade "Just Married" decal over the mistake... 😄
19 December 2018, 23:08
Daniel Klink
Ahahahahaha Greg made my day🙂 Or perhaps a Sony audio sticker😉
Thank you all for your helpful hints and answers 👍

This happened:
As i wanted to glue the canopy with some pressure correctlly and gapless onto the fuselage the whole plane plane slipped out of a ferrule because the rubber from the ferrule arms slipped on the canopy and the ki.83 made a backward catapult start and hit the wall flat on the backside. And the ´anopy absorbed most of the
Crash energy and shattered into peaces. That was also luck because the rest of the plane is nearly without damage.

Tom ...
Oh boy, Daniel. That's crushing! (No pun intended.) So so sorry!
20 December 2018, 00:40

Ouch. Good thing you can get to add another canopy piece.
20 December 2018, 19:21
Olivier
Are you contemplating building a two seater version ?
21 December 2018, 11:28
Greg Baker
Whew! Saved!
21 December 2018, 11:44
Katya Hodgson
Oliver, this is the two seater version, the radio operator sits inside the fuselage nearer the tail, you can see the little windows.
21 December 2018, 14:52
Olivier
I meant that as a joke. Poor joke I agree...
21 December 2018, 14:53
Katya Hodgson
Oh right...
21 December 2018, 14:53
Daniel Klink
@Greg Yes but again masking and sanding 😭
@Oli too much scratchbuilding necessary for that😉

HOW DID I MISS THIS?!?

Looks great Daniel! Absolutely LOVE the paint job! Too bad about the canopy. Luckily no more damage was done.
21 December 2018, 21:11
Cuajete
Very good work, Daniel. I regret the damage received by the canopy. Luckily, Special Hobby was there.
23 December 2018, 19:32
Daniel Klink
@Thank you Rick and Cuajete. Luckily the rest of the plane got no damage. Must have been well built then eh!?😉

Good restoration, Daniel. Is it not possible to vacuum the damaged part in any way?
18 August 2019, 21:49
Calvin Gifford
Very nice!!
18 August 2019, 23:04
Daniel Klink

23 August 2019, 14:35
Cuajete
I hope you get it, Daniel 👍.
24 August 2019, 19:53

Yap, not the best of PR for MPM!
15 October 2021, 21:23
Bart Goesaert
Normally Special Hobby is rather correct. Did you go to the claims part on their site? (specialhobby.eu/en/c..qdb2bh8ip1rrnbnoa504)
17 October 2021, 07:48
Daniel Klink
Thank you for th elink..already tried that more than one year ago Bart🙂
17 October 2021, 22:11

It's very difficult to get spare parts for long-discontinued kits 🙁
