Here is another Bagheera resin bit for a 1/72 Fine Molds kit. In this case it is the Ki-61 'Tony'. This was one of Fine Molds earliest kits and as such is a bit more crudely done than their later offerings. The set includes a full, one-piece wing with separate flaps and ailerons. The flap detail is superb and the parts are quite delicate looking. It is a direct replacement for the kit parts and includes all the mounting holes for the landing gear and such.

This set is not recommended for the Ki-100 as the wing attachment is a bit different for that particular aircraft. Not saying you can't make it fit, but it will take some additional effort to do so. I should point out the Bagheera has been good enough to have a very thin resin attachment to the forward wing. This prevents the problems of air bubbles under the thicker attachment sections that one can find on other sets.

If one is going to go through the efforts of building the Fine Molds kit, then one should seriously consider this set.
