Zoukei-Mura 1/32nd Ki-45 Nick

By Benjamin Jessen

I started this model in March 2022 - thinking it would be a fun and different build. Well, different was definitely correct - it was maybe a bit above my skills for the time.

---

The interior was very easy to build, but the exterior was where the real challenges were. All the issues took the fun out of the build and it went on the shelf. From time to time, I would take it down - do some work - lose motivation - repeat.

In December I decided to complete it or trash it - no more looking at the grey half-built kit.

I am happy I finally managed to push it to completion! Now it is a joy to see on the shelf - a victory over the kit that beat me several times.

Thank you to all who motivated me to keep going with the build! With a few more ZM kits in the stash - hopefully the next one will be easier!

For more information on the model, check out my build thread in the Work in Progress forum.
