    Andy T's 1/72 Kawaski Ki-61 Hien (Tony)

    Here are some completed pics of my build for Andys Japanese WW2 aircraft GB. The build thread can be found here

    I've painted the majority of the markings and the "squiggly" camouflage pattern with a mixture of masking, airbrush and paintbrush to avoid decals wherever possible.

    Thanks to Andy for coming up with the idea for this group build, it's rekindled my enthusiasm for wingy things

            As you know Andy I am not a wingy builder but I can recognise a well finished model and that looks great, particularly the camo paint.

              That is really very nice indeed. Great job on the camouflage! And such a tiny little aircraft to!

                I think you should change your forum name to Mr Squiggle!

                  Thanks very much everyone, glad you like it.

                  I'm now hankering after a bare metal finish on something larger.

                    That is very impressive Andy. A very striking paint job, especially at 1/72.
